Can someone please explain mBrace's search logic?

So im sitting at my desk looking up the nearest Fleet Farm to stop at after work on the way home to pick up a few supplies. Maps on my iPhone shows the 5 nearest ones around me, i switch over the to the mbrace app on my phone to use the 'send2benz' app to look up the location and send it to my cars nav. I type in 'Mills Fleet Farm' into the search and hit submit, here are (in the order it gave me) the results:

Mc Carthy-Duce Sales Inc
A S Auto Repair & Tire
Teams Corporation
Precision Tune Auto Care
Kaplan Brothers Inc
Pleasant Hills Saddle Shop Inc
Mills Fleet Farm
J & S Custom Guns

can someone please explain how they think that despite there being an EXACT match for what i typed in, they need to show me 6 things that are in no way (full or partial) matches, before the actual result?

Logic and MB anything electronic? Oxymoron.
Still laugh every time nav tries to make me turn right into a dead end street in a seedy trailer park instead of correctly saying take next left.

I used the MBRACE's Send2Benz's Drive2Friend and it found them only to take me to a destination about 3 miles away from where my friend actually was... Haven't used it since.
