WOF postal codes not found in autocomplete without full text #676
Description
Hey team!
I was using your awesome geocoding engine when I noticed something interesting.
Let me tell you more about it.
Here's what I did 😇
/v1/autocomplete?sources=wof&layers=postalcode&boundary.country=usa&text=6064
Here's what I got 🙀

}Here's what I was expecting ✨
I was expecting the results to include the zip code 60640, which is returned if the search query is "60640" as seen here: https://mapzen.github.io/search-sandbox/?query=autocomplete&text=60640&sources=whosonfirst&layers=postalcode&boundary.country=usa

]Here's what I think could be improved 🏆
I'm trying to do an autocomplete search for zip code results alone, but not sure why they're only being returned when the full text is supplied (which I would expect from the search endpoint).
Interestingly, the autocomplete works more like I'd expect with zero-padded zip codes. When I looked for zip code 60618 by typing 6061 (https://mapzen.github.io/search-sandbox/?query=autocomplete&text=6061&sources=whosonfirst&layers=postalcode&boundary.country=usa), the zip code 06061 was returned.
