Dunno if it's the site or Iron or what but I get dodgy UTF8 output and a lack of UK postcodes from the search.
e.g. searching for E14 9TP, I get this - https://rjp.is/tmp/badsearchwonkyutf8.png

Hi, sorry to hear that. At the moment, we are using Mapzen Search [1] for geocoding, and unfortunately it has issues like this. They are working actively on fixing it, and we are also looking into implementing our own hybrid approach which would combine multiple search providers.

This is a bit off-topic, but I'm surprised that the NASA image is listed as CC-BY. I was under the impression that NASA imagery was public domain by default. Their website [1] says "NASA content [...] generally are not copyrighted." It then goes on to say that "NASA should be acknowledged as the source of the material." IANAL, but I would assume that if the data is not copyrighted, then there's no need to attribute t…
Note the "generally" there. Further down it says explicitly "NASA material is not protected by copyright unless noted". In their Flickr page they have selected the CC BY-NC 2.0 license so this works, I think, as a notice of copyright that at the same time grants you a license to use the image (provided you follow the terms of said license).
If it is a work of NASA itself, it shouldn't be subject to copyright. Wikimedia has noticed their assertions:

It's easy to imagine that NASA has more limited rights to reproduce and redistribute images produced by their partners though, and they have lots of partners.
