RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 976336

Details

Problem this solves: Type a search for "Virginia". The results returned are only the profiles that contain the text string "Virginia", and not ones for people who are located in Virginia. In order to search for people in Virginia, I have to find one profile of a person in Virginia (through some other search), and then click on the "Virginia" link in their location. Suggested solution: It would be better if the search results page suggested matching locations, much like it currently suggests groups that match the search string. Clicking that link would do a location-based search.
Thank you for filing .. this has been a desired feature for quite sometime, hopefully the team will find time to move on it soon as well as a small amount of other search related feature awesomeness. Bumping to duplicate of bug 976336
