search_opm_pay
Search GS pay by locality area
Return the latest pay tables whose locality area matches every word of q: each word must be contained in the area name, case-insensitively, or equal its code. grade and step narrow the rates. No match returns an empty results list.
Matching only looks at OPM's locality area names, not at the counties and towns each area covers: naperville finds Chicago because the name contains it, while a town missing from the names returns nothing. No match does not mean the place falls under Rest of U.S.
