Dear GeoNames,

I searched for the name "Al-A'amiriya" via the GeoNames online search interface and see 2 returned results. The first one (an Iraqi neighborhood) is exactly what I was looking for. However, I was unable to find an entry for "Al-A'amiriya" or "A'amiriya" in the downloaded free version of allCountries.txt.

So, my questions are:

A. Are there any entries in the DB behind the online interface missing from the freely available allCountries.txt?

B. Should I get the premium version in order to get the complete set of names?

Thanks,
Li
