Hi all,
Looks like the Android Geocoder recently stopped working when you search 
using a bounding box.

AOSP Issue:

StackOverflow:

I created a small sample open-source project to demonstrate the issue:
https://github.com/barbeau/GeocoderDemo

The Android Geocoder seems to always return the same generic results no 
matter what the search term is if you use a bounding box.

If you use the Android Geocoder with a bounding box, you should check your 
app.  Its a subtle bug unless a user reports it to you directly, depending 
on how the geocoder is integrated into your app.

I've also posted on this to the Android Development G+ group here:
