Comment (by dd32):

 > It looks like the problem may be related to how cities are now being
 imported into `geonames_summary.name` as `Chicago, IL` instead of the
 canonical `Chicago` in `geonames.name`. So, they fail the exact-match
 search, and the fuzzy search turns up the less-desirable result.

 As per r16728-dotorg the `Chicago, IL` entry should be added ''in addition
 to'' the canonical `Chicago` one. I'll review the queries and results
 today though to triple check that it's working how I intended it to..
