Docs show different example results than what you see in the service now

[rmglennon]

These are my notes as I went through documentation as part of #193.

Some examples in the documentation list the results that are returned from the request. Because these were added ages ago, they may differ from what is returned by the service right now. It's not too big of a deal in most cases and people should expect these to change over time, but the reverse with Tour Eiffel and autocomplete in Union Square are different enough to cause confusion if someone tried to compare the docs with the current results.

Tour Eiffel - # 3 (not # 1) result now for https://mapzen.github.io/search-sandbox/?query=reverse&point.lat=48.858268&point.lon=2.294471

https://mapzen.github.io/search-sandbox/?query=search&text=YMCA gives different top 10 results (and 1 now is in Slovakia)

Every query on page has different top 10 result list

These results are a lot different: https://mapzen.github.io/search-sandbox/?query=search&text=YMCA&sources=oa

structured

Note: + in URL is converted straight to + https://mapzen.github.io/search-sandbox/?query=search/structured&address=Rue+de+Rivoli&locality=Paris&region=France (and search is for Rue+de+Rivoli, so changed + to space so they show up correctly in text box)... I recall we used the + originally because of cached results.

so many examples in this section

autocomplete

None of the mapzen links work right now. Using the search-sandbox gets a page at least, but requests from the pages don't work.
