When you use the advanced search to look up an individual city and the radius surrounding city; you won't find Tilt of the Newpark mall in the city of Newark, CA.

Tilt of Newpark Mall shows up in the complete California listings, but does not show up once you look up Newark or a city within enough of a radius of Newark.

Please correct this error. I really love machine locations listing for arcade hunting, and I it's a shame that I missed out on this place even though I have been near it in my trips.

Yeah, there's something wrong with the search feature because it sometimes neglects to list some locations, but something like that is really hard to pinpoint and fix....I haven't looked at the algorithm, but I would imagine it's quite complicated.

Please give me the exact details to reproduce the problem.

- link for the machine location you want to show up
- search string you are using
- radius

Most likely it's because the Tilt listing does not have a zip code, or the zip code that's listed was created in the last 5 years, or doesn't exist.

Edit: I see the problem-- the zipcode is in the 9 digit extended format, which the ML doesn't support right now. This is indeed a bug and I'll put it in the queue to be fixed.

Thank you, your help is most appreciated. I also have DCB of Smoker's Rokers to thank for pointing out the existence of Newpark mall's Tilt.
