Summary:

Incomplete phrasings of searches for common cross-streets come back with 'No Results Found', or make a decidedly wrong guess at what the input means.

Steps to Reproduce:

Search for 'SE 39 & Hawthorne, Portland, OR' and 'MLK & Alberta, Portland, OR'.

Expected Results:

Search 1 should find SE 39th & Hawthorne (http://goo.gl/maps/l5hxU); search 2 should find NE MLK & Alberta (http://goo.gl/maps/m5dhW)—both are significant intersections in the city.

Actual Results:

'No Results Found'.

Search 1 will give the correct results if adjusted to 'SE 39th & Hawthorne, Portland, OR' (note the 'th'). Search 2 still doesn't work for 'MLK Blvd & Alberta, Portland, OR', but 'Martin Luther King Jr Blvd & Alberta, Portland, OR' does work.

Regression:

Notes:

Unsurprisingly, Google has no problem handling either search.
