 Agreed.

 Hmm, the current text box shows 34 of 40 characters.  I can see how a
 slightly wider text box wouldn't look too ugly while being much more
 useful.  Should we try this?  We can probably make the other boxes wider,
 too.

 Sounds like a fine suggestion to try.  I guess it should be "CC, desc"
 (rather than "desc (CC)"), so that a search for "de" shows "DE, Germany"
 first, not "BD, Bangladesh", right?
