Comment:

 This is another case of difficulties in substring matching as described in
 #3733. Matching avenue Kennedy against the street with the full name is
 not favoured enough against all the other possible interpretations of the
 search string. Adding France in this case simply increases the number of
 variations to a point where the right interpretation of the search string
 is dropped.

 Closing in favour of #3733.
