Description
When a job "location" is set as a city (e.g. "London") and the search query contains city + country (e.g. London, United Kingdom) the search yields no result even though jobs related to those city exists.


Ideally, it should give consistent results in both cases.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue by creating or finding a job whose location is "London", then search for both "London" and "London, United Kingdom". Compare the results and trace the location-search entry point; done means the descriptive city-and-country query returns the same relevant jobs as the city-only query.
