This is something we discussed this week and you’re correct - it currently only searches iNaturalist Places. We want to add more search options liek getting locations from Apple/Google Maps and allowing coordinates to be entered.
Curious, what’s your use case here? When making new observations, or using the Explore screen, or for something else?
