MKLocalSearchRequest giving me weird results
<p>So Ive implemented a <code>searchBar</code> for my maps application and its giving me some weirds results. If I search for "Oslo" for instance, it points me to a very specific but weird spot north of the city and zoomed far in. There must be something I've done wrong in code here. Anyone able to spot the issue?</p>

<pre><code>// When user submits search query
func searchBarSearchButtonClicked(searchBar: UISearchBar){
    // resign first responder and dismiss the searchbar.
    searchBar.resignFirstResponder()
    dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)

    // Create and start search request
    localSearchRequest = MKLocalSearchRequest()
    localSearchRequest.naturalLanguageQuery = searchBar.text
    localSearch = MKLocalSearch(request: localSearchRequest)

    localSearch.startWithCompletionHandler { (localSearchResponse, error) -&gt; Void in

        if localSearchResponse == nil{
            let alertController = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: "Place Not Found", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
            alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Dismiss", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: nil))
            self.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
            return
        }

        let center = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: localSearchResponse!.boundingRegion.center.latitude, longitude: localSearchResponse!.boundingRegion.center.longitude)
        self.updateCurrentMapRegion(center, distance: 5000)
        NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName("LocationUpdate", object: nil, userInfo: ["latitude": center.latitude, "longitude": center.longitude])
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>Also, one issue is that I've hardcoded the distance to 5000 meters when updating the map region after getting a search result. How can I handle this in a more dynamic manner? </p>

<p>Whats the alternative to using MKLocalSearchRequest() which in my mind sounds like something you should use when looking for stuff nearby and not larger entities such as cities, etc. </p>
