Context

We currently only allow searches with >= 3 characters when a user wants to put a location in. We're reducing this to 2 due to fact that many London postcode strings are 2 characters (E#, W#, N#, S#). It does cause potential issues with M# postcodes in Manchester pointing towards motorway locations, but this is of lower value than allowing all London postcode stubs.

@jkempster34 is also going to look at what we can do on motorway problems.
