Matching translations and searching

                "name": {
                    "any": "Nicolaus Copernicus University",
                    "en": "Nicolaus Copernicus University",
                    "pl": "Uniwersytet Miko\u0142aja Kopernika"
                },

Currently we match only on the name in the current language, so if you run the app in English or Dutch it matches on "Nico" and on "NCU", and in Polish it matches on "Miko" and "UMK".

Should we match across languages? Might be confusing when matches show that don't seem to match the query, but also may make it harder to find an organization when looking for the English name or abbreviation while running in the local language.

When searching, match every language, but prioritise matches that are in the preferred languages of the user, and in the country of the users' locale.

[johankool]

Prioritizing matches in the preferred language is quite different from the current way: it either matches or not, then sorted alphabetically. We don't sort by how well an entry matches.

When needing to search through all languages, I do think it might be time to bite the bullet on using SQLite locally.
