Maybe just add _your exact_ information in regards to location and zip code to
the file that contains the weather-app's configuration? This way you'll be given
a choice when you try to change it, or at the very least....it should FIND
it!... And mind you I'm just guessing here!.
The issue is twofold:
1 - the initial location is taken from your IP, before you have 1st login.
2 - the search function is broken thereafter.
Note: search worked at the time fc17 came out, that's where I got the correct
address. Relatively new problem.
