				<title>Issue when searching for San Francisco, CA</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hello,

Thanks a lot for your for this wonderful service. i am finding it very helpful.
I am finding an issue when I perform a search for San Francisco. The results are not bringing any thing for San Francisco, CA. The same behavior happens when I search for San Diego, Los Angeles etc. 

We would expect to see San Francisco , California at the top of the list since it is the biggest and and more populated. I am not sure if I need to set some further params fro ADM1 etc.

Below is the URL I am using.

Could some please help me to get the right results?

				<description><![CDATA[ The capital of California is Sacramento. San Francisco is PPLA2 and you do not have this on your featureCode list. Either remove your featureCode filter or add all you need.

				<description><![CDATA[ Thanks a lot Marc for your great help! Now I am able to get the results without any issues.

One questions, where can I find the info such like PPLA2 corresponding to a particular city? I am able to find the different codes from http://www.geonames.org/export/codes.html but I cannot see what does a city means in geonames context.

Thanks]]></description>
