Yes you can. Entering Portland, OR in Google will usually filter out results for Portland, Maine (at least for the accounts I tested).

Portland Oregon is not Oregon though. Perhaps people are interested in what's on offer throughout the state.

Doing a simple text search on 'OR' has a zillion false positives.

No, but the job was in Portland, OR. And if you Google the city you'll find out about the area. Which includes as much Washington State anyway, I wouldn't base my decision of moving to Portland just on the state of Oregon.
