Copy paste text into external provider only searches by numbers at the end of it

For places that have numbers at the end of their names. Can reproduce in beta and production

  1. Copy/paste a place name into the external provider field. Name must have numbers at the end of it. Example: Magisterial District Court 11 - 1 - 06
  2. Google external provider searches with the numbers, not the text at the beginning

This bug was reported 8 months ago and continues to occur. Can it be acknowledged?

I tried this and if there is an exact match in the external provider, it shows me that match as the first option, with the full name. The names after that match do indeed start with the numbers.
