Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When doing a location search in the app or in the website, entering a US style zip code does not return the intended location. In some cases this is because another result is returned first, while others are just missing entirely

  • In the search box typing in 60606 and then immediately pressing enter takes me to Estonia.

  • In the search box, typing in 60606 and then waiting for a second shows 2 results, with the Estonia address first

  • In the search box, typing in 63128 returns only a result in Germany and not a valid zip code in the United States

Describe the solution you'd like
Missing zip code of 63128 should be returned
Unsure what to do about numbers that have multiple results in different countries, but my expectation (as an American) is that typing in a US zip code and pressing enter, such as 60606, would go to that zip code location in the US

Describe alternatives you've considered
Typing a zip code and then waiting instead of just pressing enter does show a list that can be selected.
Maybe if typed in and Enter is pressed and multiple results are found, it should either show all valid results before jumping to a location, or go to the first location but leave the drop down list of all results so users know that there are multiple matches
