Description

Using the geocoder 4.1 test environment located at:

https://cmhodgson.github.io/ols-devkit/ols-demo/?gc=tst

Enter the following:

birds eye

and the geocoder returns:

Duncan, BC

instead of the correct match:

Birdseye Dr, Duncan, BC

but glue _birds_ and _eye_ together and hill together and you get the correct match.

This is because the compound word dictionary doesn't include the word _birdseye_. This dictionary wasn't designed for street names so there are many similar omissions.

More examples of missing words in the compound word dictionary:

Hillcrest
Searidge
