Getting events from wrong zip code

   When I have multiple criteria, I'm getting incorrect results

   l=80016 should only return me results for tennis activities (k=tennis) within 25 miles from zip code 80016. I'm getting results from all over the place.. Alpharetta, GA for example. IF I remove f=activites, I get correct zip codes, but now I'm getting all kinds of other type of activities. At this time we're only interested in activities.

   http://api.amp.active.com/search/?v=xml&k=tennis&l=80016&r=25&f=activies&m=meta:startDate:daterange:today..06/13/2013&s=date_asc&num=25&page=1&api_key=wuhmn9ye94xn3xnteudxsavw

   (using sample key in this example)

   Can you check why this is happening?

   Hi,

   I hope you are not misspelling the word 'activities' in your URL. The URL you pasted here has the word activities misspelled.

   Hi there Jaana,

   I'm checking with the developer team to better understand what is happening in this case. I will follow up with you asap.

   Thanks for the patience while we look into this.

   Best regards, Jarred

   After looking into this, turns out the facet is misspelled in this query, it needs to be "activities". Otherwise the filtering will get very wonky, which I believe is what she is seeing. With the corrected query, I see the asset count down around 50, which is much more accurate for a specific zip code. Also note that a keyword of 'tennis' will be more broad than just Tennis activities. If the user wants to explicitly limit to tennis activities, they should use the channel filter.
