           Summary: The BBC ion for the weather data engine fails when a
                    search produces an exact match
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: huntedhacker tiscali co uk


Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

If you search for a location using the BBC weather ion where there is only one match, it claims there were no matches.

For example, searching for "oxford" will produce only one match (try it at http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/).  The weather applet will give the message "The place 'oxford' is not valid.  The data source is not able to find this place".

Searching for "london" will give a list of possible matches (again, see http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/).  In this case, the weather applet will give a list of possible matches and allow you to select one.

The data engine needs to check for this special case and deal with it.
