There’s a restaurant website in Hong Kong that lets you search by region. However it shows restaurants that paid to be featured at the top of the results. So

  To some extent, this is consistent with Google's mobile Maps version when searching for anything. It returns "Relevance" by default, not by "Distance". I also noticed the same in several other website where "relevance" trumps my sort request (e.g., price, distance).

    I hate this with a passion. I can be out somewhere, knowing that there's likely a McDonald's nearby. I zoom in to my location, type in McDonald's, and it zooms out to a 25 mile radius to show me every single McDonald's in the area including the one 0.1 miles away (that I then have to zoom all the way back into to get)

      More favorite of mine is then it decides to fire up the first time user experience for some new features for you or shift into driving mode you thought you disabled. The you click what you think is the nearest MCD and it's the one close as the crow flies and on the other side of the freeway so 3 miles away. Search along route sometimes works better and sometimes also zooms out.

  The last time I used Craigslist to apartment hunt, people spam the listings with the name of places 30 minutes away for some reason, as though I would just give up on living in the neighborhood I was searching for if I saw there was something somewhere completely different at a price that wasn't even that good.
