Maybe this is a duplicate request and the original is buried deep in the MP Discussion forum, but why is "International" the only area that shows in the autocomplete search?

If I'm looking for this Diedre, I would ideally like to see "British Columbia" in the results or at least "Canada."

I suppose this is happening since it is only showing the "root" area, so it will always show "International" for anywhere outside the US since each US state is a "root" after "All Locations"

Example:
All Locations > International > N America > Canada > British Columbia > Squamish > Stawamus Chief > Apron > S Apron
compared to:
All Locations > Washington > Central-W Casca… > Snoqualmie Pass… > Tooth > Summer-Fall (rock) (The Tooth Fairy)

Maybe in the data model for areas, there should be a flag indicating if it is a country or a sub-region of a country, and then show that in search results?

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
