"only" supports airport codes is definitely not true, though text search outside of airport codes, as others have noted, leads to some odd sort ordering. I don't think being built by a German speaker has anything to do with it. Typing "Vienna" (the English name for the city) returns the expected airport first, perhaps because the IATA code is VIE. Typing "Wien" (the actual name of the city in German, used by the locals) puts it further down the list among funny little airfields in other places. The UX lesson for us all: sorting of search results is hard. It helps to know who your users are, and what they are looking for. Fundamentally, my bigger question with this site - which looks awesome, and is fun to geek out over - is who is it for? Professional pilots obviously have their own resources already to tell them how to navigate around airports, where to park and where to taxi; the detailed information that would actually be useful for a first-time passenger at Frankfurt airport is completely lacking, eg. how long will it take me to transfer from an inbound London flight to my connection to a small town in Austria, how can I find shortcuts to shave a few minutes off that, will I have to go through extra security checks (the answer varies with the direction of travel and, apparently, the time of day), is it more convenient to stop off in the business lounge of the terminal where I arrive, before transferring, or the one that might be close to my departure gate, can I still enter Schengen through the electronic gates with a UK passport or must I join a long queue with the Americans and Japanese, where can I refill my water bottle and charge my phone for free, etc etc etc
