Search for "Newcastle" or "Newcastle-upon-Tyne" and you end up in Australia. Needs to be some means of coping with multiple search results (which is presumably what is happening). See my earlier ticket (281) about this in relation to the OSM site search box - same applies here.

This doesn't surprise me too much. This is the fault of the geocoder being used at the backend. Updating ticket summary to represent the real problem: that there is no way of choosing between different results for the location search.

This was fixed as part of the rails port - you now get a list of results to choose from.
