For example, is a town that is officially called “Rincon de Guayabitos”. But everyone just calls it “Guayabitos”.

If i type guayabitos, it does not pull up rincon de guayabitos, but it really does need to.

Any help appreciated.

for google maps they are 2 different locations

Guayabitos: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Guayabitos,+Nay.,+Mexico/@21.5208329,-105.0008333,11z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x84273511479b7e49:0xdcddee4a17756474

Rincón de Guayabitos: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Rinc%C3%B3n+de+Guayabitos,+Nay.,+Mexico/@21.0248122,-105.2644943,11z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x842125ad195d91f5:0x51a6c1bed56a9ae5

Thanks

Maybe in another version of the plugin.

Sorry.
