Hey folks-- New here so maybe I'm missing something but I entered my town & state as my private address, and my state-- Mississippi-- as my public address. The "local" results are from all over the US and beyond. I expected returns of nearby folks, groups, stores, etc. What have I missed?

Is it possible that your settings are too broad or not set at all?
Go to Settings, LibraryThing Local, Local Settings and edit the Search radius to however many miles you want.

This looks like a manifestation of the following bug:

which has become really quite annoying!

I'm making references to both of your threads under the bug report in question.
