Then I tried in “Type on your search” and there, yes, 24 pictures from the country of Georgia were shown.

There was always a problem with cities of the same name and double worded names like New... South... Saint... Upper... etc. Hope this can be fixed or improved one day. When searching, I prefere to use the clickable map which generates option lists. That works 100%.
