Thanks for the screenshots.

"Calcutta" should work better.

The actual locations come from the geoname-lookup website, which you
can query directly as below:

http://geoname-lookup.ubuntu.com/?query=Calcutta

There is a deployment pending with the updated database of geonames. I
cannot test right now, but you can track progress of the deployment
via this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-geonames/+bug/837054

The database we use comes from
http://www.geonames.org/search.html?q=kolkata&country=

The premium version does know about Kolkata, I cannot check right now
if the free one does as well.

Title:
  When a location name is typed in the text box on 'Where are you page',
  drop down list doesn't always show right location names

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When a location name is typed in the text box on 'Where are you page',
  drop down list doesn't always show right location names. Example, when
  I typed Kolkata, it was giving out the result Kolkat, Mazandaran, Iran
  and when I backspaced 'a' in Kolkata and retyped it, the right drop
  down list appeared. To check again, I typed London, the drop down list
  showed results for Londo. Backspacing 'n' in London and re-typing it
  worked.
