I tried to search for my city and got back:

  EAST LONDON, SOUTH AFRICA
  LONDON AIRPORT, CANADA

I would have thought London (UK) might have got a mention.

When I type "København" it responds with an empty page. It seems like any non-ascii character makes the page crash.

It doesn't have "Copenhagen", only "Koebenhavn" which nobody uses.

One of the cities it gives for Estonia is "Pjarnu", for Pärnu.

But then it also thinks the capital is "Tallin", rather than Tallinn.

Seconded.

No results for Manila, Kuala Lumpur, or Singapore either

No results for Prague and Dublin. For Vienna, if found Vienna, VA, USA, not Vienna, Austria.

Try the local names. Praha, Wien, and some unknown mystical name the Dubliners use.

Praha and Wien work, Baile Atha Cliath (local mystical name for Dublin) doesn't.
