In Python version I use the ComputedProperty to normalize the string from a property. After that it is only a question of normalize the user input a make the search on the computed property. You can search for prefixes with a code like this:
https://github.com/renzon/gaepermission/blob/master/gaepermission/model.py#L38 This way, you avoid that "Zuper" appears when you are searching for "Super" prefix. For normalization itself I use this lib: https://github.com/un33k/python-slugify It is used to generate slugs, but it can be used for normalization as well.
