Goals

The map is not interactive - clicking on it does not select a location.
Each location is identified by the bubble only - the area of the time zone is not highlighted.
In clocks, it should be possible to search for a time zone. In this case the time zone is highlighted.

Search results:

Should only include one result per city.
Should rank results in order of popularity/relevance.
Should include time zones when used in Clocks.
Should include only "popular"/"significant" cities (most populous cities plus capitals, for example).
It should be possible to search for the "native" spelling of a place, irrespective of the configured display language. For example, on a computer set to Spanish, it should be possible to search for "London" or "Londres".
Search should match cities using a "simple spelling" that does not require special characters. For example, it should be possible to search for "Munchen" and get a result for "München".
It would be really fantastic if we could use fuzzy search to return misspellings, like returning "Barcelona" for "Barcalona" or "Marseille" for "Marsielle"
