Hello,

GoogleBase returns an error due to the spelling of a city/location.
The location is:  Sault Sainte Marie (in Michigan). I think GoogleBase
is unable to find the location when spelled with "Sainte"

Oddly, other common spellings do not generate the error, like: Sault
Saint Marie and Sault Ste Marie. All three spellings occur with about
the same frequency in a Google search, and I think "Sault Sainte
Marie" is the proper and preferred spelling.

Here is an example of the error:

http://www.google.com/base/feeds/snippets?max-results=30&bq=mortgages%5Bitem%20type%3A%20jobs%5D%5Blocation(location)%5D&orderby=%5bx%3dlocation%28location%29%3aneg%28min%28dist%28x%2c%40%22Sault%2BSainte%2BMarie%2c%2BMI%22%29%29%29%5d

Howerver, simply by changing a single character in the above (i.e.,
changing "Sainte" to just "Saint"), it works! Here is a working link:

http://www.google.com/base/feeds/snippets?max-results=30&bq=mortgages%5Bitem%20type%3A%20jobs%5D%5Blocation(location)%5D&orderby=%5bx%3dlocation%28location%29%3aneg%28min%28dist%28x%2c%40%22Sault%2BSaint%2BMarie%2c%2BMI%22%29%29%29%5d

(Hopefully the above links post correctly.)

This is seemingly an error on the GoogleBase side...? Shouldn't
GoogleBase work with all common city names and spellings?

Thanks,
Jim
