+// match" behaviour. A door number + unlisted micro-locality/street name (very
+// common for Indian addresses, e.g. "60, Keezha Raman Puthoor, ...") makes
+// the whole query match nothing, even though the city/postcode later in the
+// string resolves fine on its own. So on a miss, retry with the leading
+// (most specific, least likely to be indexed) comma-separated segments
+// dropped one at a time until something matches — worst case this lands on
+// just "<city> <postcode>", an approximate pin instead of no pin at all.
