MUMapBooster - Adds location to Monash Maps (https://maps.monash.edu) searches to improve relevance of results
// ==UserScript==
// @name Monash Maps location search booster
// @namespace nick.tay.blue
// @match https://maps.monash.edu/
// @grant none
// @version 0.1.2
// @author Nicholas Tay <nick@windblume.net>
// @description Adds location as context to the MazeMap API before searching to improve relevance of searches
// ==/UserScript==
// MazeMap API's search result sorting is kinda weird, probably due to 'relevance' vs 'location'.
// It doesn't seem to work very well, though.
// This option allows you to just apply naive location sorting to the results instead.
// It's not a very good solution in some cases but is better in generic cases like 'toilet', so
// IF YOU USE THIS: if you want to turn it off, just add a space!
