• autocomplete

• fuzzy search tokenizes by whitespace only (ie. "west lake view englewood usa" returns both "West Lake View" and "Englewood", but not "West Lake View Engelwood")

• based on http://arxiv.org/pdf/1102.3306v1.pdf, which talks about typos, but demo at https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox.js/example/v1.0.0/geocoding-auto/ cannot find "wahsington usa"
