San Francisco, CA, United States fails to geocode

The string "San Francisco, CA, United States" is returning 0 results in YQL geo.places:

http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/#h=select%20*%20from%20geo.places%20where%20text%3D%22san%20francisco%2C%20ca%2C%20united%20states%22

This appears to be true for any city with "United States" at the end.

Hi,

I got the same issue. I removed the coma to get ride of this issue but if someone from Y! could explain why that would be nice.

Hello,

According to the documentation, when you're providing an address in free-form, you only need to provide a state after giving a city. More information on address formats can be found here:

Best,
Daniel
