Our enhanced location search recognizes city, state, country, and geography. When you search "United States," it automatically includes all relevant regions. [1]
The result showing "France, Idaho, United States" appears because there's a city named France in Idaho, USA. Since your location filter is set to "United States," this person is being included in the results.
If you want to exclude people actually located in France (the country), you can use the location exclusion parameter to exclude "France" as a country from your search. [2]
