We were including 'Dicks Sporting Goods' as an additional detail for something and a message popped back at us that said "The term 'dicks' is not allowed." So essentially they are filtering on one of of the spectrum, but not the other. Very frustrating and annoying indeed with all these PIA nuances of Google Places/Maps/Local/Boost/Tags/and the list goes on.
