[mkgmap-dev] Address search index questions.

Thu Dec 31 08:41:03 GMT 2015

Well i live in Argentina, and our main capital is named “Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires”, however some people will just refer to it as “Buenos Aires”. Im sure i can find some other examples specially in spanish, but so far i faced the problem when typing “Buenos Aires” and getting back zero results just because the “official” name is the other one.
