Comment (by shedonist):

 Thanks for the info, @iandunn. I installed the logger as requested.

 When I search for '''"Portsmouth, NH"''', I get this:[[BR]]

 received. Details:
 {"request_url":"https:\/\/api.wordpress.org\/events\/1.0\/","request_args":{"number":5,"ip":"127.0.0.0","locale":"en_US","timezone":"America\/New_York","location":"Portsmouth,
 NH"},"response_code":200,"response_body":{"location":{"description":"Portsmouth","latitude":"36.8354300","longitude":"-76.2982700","country":"US"},"events":"4

 If I search for '''"Portsmouth"''', what I get seems to be identical
 except for the location field:[[BR]]
