Change interpretation of coordinates in "search for location" box
Currently, the search bar can either find known, named geographic features (cities, etc.), or points defined by coordinates in decimal degrees. However, instead of the standard format of Lat, Long, the search bar interprets pairs of values as Long, Lat (which is consistent with how we think about X,Y coordinates, but not the convention for geographic coordinates).
For example, entering "34.405173, -119.844934" into Google Maps brings you to UCSB, but zooms to Poland in SeaSketch.
Would it be possible to change the way the search bar interprets coordinate pairs?
