Description

Currently in BC, only IRs are numbered locality names but, in principle, there could be others. Here is an example that doesn't autocomplete well:

|Input address|Best match|
|--|--|
Bear Bay 8|Bear Bay 8 near Bute Inlet, BC
Bear Bay 8 BC|8 BC Mine Rd, Grand Forks, BC

Research direction

Start by reproducing the two address examples against the geocoder and compare the returned matches. Trace the autocomplete or address-matching entry point responsible for provinceCode handling; done means a numbered locality such as “Bear Bay 8 BC” no longer selects “8 BC Mine Rd” when the locality match is more appropriate.
