Thats what I'm doing in address-search and it works fine. I'm also normalizing everything to non-capital letters and a given number of special characters of the search-string get replaced by %. (The first time I made the mistake of transliterating ^[a-zA-Z0-9] to % and this broke the search for russian names.)
