Description
A search for 'london' returns,
London - Kiribati London - (Heathrow Airport) London - (another duplicate UK result) London - (another duplicate UK result) London - Ontario, Canada London - Kentucky, United States
Results should instead be ordered by population which is more likely to be useful to a prospective user, which would put the 1,829 people of London, Kiribati at the bottom of the results.
Freebase has some accurate and up to date machine readable sources for population data (queries on http://www.freebase.com/location/statistical_region/population) or we could go with a crude approach to whitelist really large places.
