Go on, guess

I'm not being anti-American (honest) but why, after one has typed 'York' into the search box at BBC Weather, doesn't it simply default to York, North Yorkshire, UK?

Instead it asks for further clarification: do I mean that York, i.e. the York, the original, or do I mean York, Pennsylvania, USA? This is the 'Weather' section of the website of the British Broadcasting Corporation. Which York am I more likely to be wanting?
