Shetland and Orkney islands not found within /places search

[ev-harris]

Searching for either "Shetland" or "Orkney" through the /places search query returns no results, however searching for towns in those island groups ("Lerwick" or "Stromness") does return a location match.

I assume that the resolution of the search matches on a region smaller than island or county level (I notice that "Yorkshire" also doesn't work) which is why no results are returned.

Is this by design?

@ev-harris the underlying dataset is OS Open Places, coverage extends to GB only.

I'm quite certain counties don' feature in this dataset.
