I got to write an address database matcher once covering all of scandinavia and poland.

For suggest functions, it turns out people fully expect to be able to write some sort of ascii normalisation and still get a match, i.e. the address has ż in it, but people want to type a plain z.

And the rules for this are not entirely obvious. A swede would totally expect being able to write ö instead of the norwegian ø when doing routing across the border.
