hi, I'm searching the road: Via Giuseppe Di Vittorio Vanzago and work, but often users omits the name (Giuseppe) and look for Surname of road, so enter: Via Di Vittorio Vanzago in that case the search engine miss results. Is this a bug?

If you give the road the following two tags:

  • name=Via Giuseppe Di Vittorio Vanzago
  • alt_name=Via Di Vittorio Vanzago

then most search engines will find the road when either name is searched for.
