Thanks for the feedback. I thought about stop words but since I have a lot of documents spanning lots of different countries, I won't know all of the possible cities so stop-words could get hard to manage. Also, the city name is in the same field. I think I might try creating a new field called name_no_city, and at index time just strip the city name out?
