Hi.
I use the http://api.geonames.org/search?name=<url encoded name> service

If i search for a place with an æ, å, or ø (norwegian characters), the search result contains places with the characters a, ae and o. This is unwanted.

Example: Search for "Bodø" gives a lot of unwanted results like "Bodo", "Boden" etc.

I have url'encoded the query,

How can i avoid this?
