Search for locations should be "fuzzy" #1311

PROBLEM:

The geography search box should implement fuzzy matches where possible. For example, to find St. John, Virgin Islands, any of the following searches should work:

Would be ideal to have aliasing as well, for locations that have extremely common alternate names:. For example, the following searches don't yield the expected results

If possible, should ignore the word "county"; right now typing Sarasota, Fl doesn't yield because you need to type county in as well

all great ideas. can we get an estimate on effort and would it make sense to include the city / county search as part of this?

Think this is still worthwhile - let's see when timing makes sense.
