Search-string aware label generation

[vesameskanen]

Currently labels are generated using a fixed format. Here in finland, addresses can be expressed in 2 standard ways:

name/street addr, postalcode, locality
name/street addr, postalcode, localadmin

Locality resembles the division to postal code areas and is hence quite a natural way to express a post address. Also, locality often refers to the traditional well known area name, whereas localadmin is the current administrative division, in which several localities have been joined. Spoken language often prefers locality.

Other countries may have similar conventions.

I would be a nice option if search results could use the same convention as expressed in the query. If the user searches 'Ojatie, Kuru', he probably expects to get exactly that address, not 'Ojatie, Ylöjärvi'.

The desired convention/behavior can also depend on the application using the geocoding service. Configurability will be a good way to tackle this.

Would love to see this implemented! We have the same issue here in Belgium.

Right now when a search is performed in the form of "name/street addr, postalcode, localadmin" nothing is returned if it exists as "name/street addr, postalcode, locality".
