I know there are many boxes in Southampton, Ma. but when I do a search towns like Ashburnham, Gardner etc. come up on ALL 4 pages of box listings. I've tried 4 times, spell name correctly but no luck.

yeah, really weird, I get the same thing ... a buncha boxes nowhere near western MA.

If you type in an exact address, like
108 Fomer Rd, Southampton, MA
you get what you want.

Well separate words didn't work the first time but it did now. The town name is not 2 words and it is even listed as one words in AQ search by town. Oh well, I hope Ryan tweaks this. Thanks CEC

AQ had two Southamptons listed in Massachusetts, one in Hamilton County and one in Worcester County. I'm pretty sure those boxes were listed incorrectly, though, so I moved them to Southampton, Hamilton County and deleted the Worcester County location which was what you were searching on.

So things should work as expected now!
