Bug Description

Currently when I search for location in My-Weather-Indicator preferences it always finds only one location, but sometimes should find several locations, for example in Lithuania there are several locations named Antakalnis or Pagiriai (one near Vilnius, second near Kaišiadorys, etc.). Users are confused when search dialog finds only one incorrect location.
Sometimes search dialog finds incorrect locations in other countries, for example when I search for Lithuanian word "Taikos" then my-weather-indicator finds only one location in Russia ("Mir") instead of several Lithuanian locations :(
Please fix this problem and display several locations in search dialog if there is more than one search result.

Btw, default location currently is Sila, Spain, this also confuses majority of users. I think it would be nice to choose default location from timezone settings (/etc/timezone in Ubuntu and Debian)

For the first question:

If you write the complete address, My-Weather-Indicator, find the correct Location. Please, try it. I thinks its a good solution, I attached an image.

For the second question, I think it's a great idea, I added to blueprints

I've tried entering the address into the location search bar, it still brings up everywhere else except where I'm looking and wanting to select. I've also tried entering the city/township where I live, and it takes me to New York, while I'm in Ohio
