Here’s a lovely little bug that Itea discovered in Jobster search.  

The first clue was several jobs being listed in Lakebay, WA.  Lakebay is small community in Pierce county, and these jobs weren’t actually in Lakebay.  Strange, but not yet obvious what could be causing the bug. 

Another key bit of evidence:  Lakebay also happens to be known as Home, WA.   

Still other jobs were listed with the dual location of Sweet Home, OR and Lakebay.  (Sadly, there is no Sweet Home, AL.)

The punchline should be obvious by now– a number of of the “work at home” jobs on Craigslist were posted with a location of “home” or “home sweet home”, and our location parsing code was a little too clever/stupid for its own good. 

I think we’ll be fixing that one.
