Your searches work right in every town.
A bug was turning search terms into garbage. In Robstown, people looking for a dentist were seeing towing shops. Now it doesn't.

NPCLocal tries to guess which category you mean when you search. 'Tooth pain' should match dentist. 'Tow my truck' should match towing. We had a piece of code doing that work.
The code had a bug. It was mangling search terms, turning them into nonsense. In Robstown, dental searches were getting mixed up with towing. In other towns, people weren't finding what they needed.
It's fixed. The search logic is cleaner. If you're looking for a dentist in Robstown, you get dentists, not towing shops.
