[Photon] Possibility to search cities by colloquial names

[Fabian]

Hey all,


I was wondering if search for cities by colloquial name is possible?

I came across the following: Surakarta, known colloquially as Solo, is a 
city in Central Java, Indonesia. (wikipedia)

The photon query will not yield any usefull result for 'solo' 
(https://photon.komoot.io/api/?q=solo)


Meanwhile komoot (which is also using komoot I guess) is giving the 
right result on first place:


Great list of results! I also want that :)
Is it somehow posible to optimize the results with komoot alone, or you 
guys think komoot is using here different software under the hood?

Best regards
Fabian
