when I search for the city "Mnchen" in Germany, the web service returns not the correct city by using: http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php?format=xml&addressdetails=1&limit=1&polygon=0&countrycodes=de&city=M%C3%BCnchen

Otherwise by using query string, the web service return the correct city http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php?format=xml&addressdetails=1&limit=1&polygon=0&q=de,M%C3%BCnchen
