Hi all,

I have been adding this "is_in:country(_code)" in Cebu some time ago to make Navit's search work properly :
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMap#Search_doesn.27t_work_in_most_countries

I don't use Navit anymore, but others might still like the search feature...

I agree the "Province of" prefix is not very useful in the state name.

Regards,
