When i run the example of 'Statue of Liberty', i get an array of various places of the statue (didn't know theres one in Pakistan). Then i put 'Statue of Liberty, New York' and i get an empty array. Am i missing something here?

No it's a bug or data error. The query is "explained" here:

Note that it places the statue in New Jersey. So it isn't properly handing the fact that Liberty Island is an exclave of New York (so most likely a bug).
