keyboard entry must be in plain character equivalents
to the international character. |

| Does this
city possibly have common parts and variants? |
|
Many city names contain common parts and
variants. For example, in France, names contain common parts
like Grand, Petit, le, la, or les.
The parts may vary by local usage, for example le versus
la, some regions reverse the order of some parts. For example
Le
Badeuil is also called Le Grand Badeuil
Le Barial is
also called La Barial
Flavigny-le-Petit
is also called le-Petit Flavigny
These common parts and variants exist in many languages,
not just French.

Reverse the
order of some variants. For example, FlavignylePetit instead
of lePetitFlavigny
Use variants (la instead of le)
Or to be sure, try the wildcard character "*".
This character matches any text. For example,
*Barial* will match Le Barial, Le
Barial, Les Barial, Le Barial Petit, Le Petite Barial and perhaps
many other names. But at least you can find the match you want..
