I noticed this as well. If you poke around, you can see that only 53 cities are currently available. I tried "Portland" and received "Orlando" as a suggestion. Looks like it uses some sort of half-baked search algorithm that looks for a close match, but does not work so well.

Sorry about that. You're right, we need to work on our autocomplete algo and set a fallback for unavailable cities.

I will add Portland to our next batch of cities we add and message you when it's up.
