My Paris example is a bad one :-(
My point is: "lexical co-location" is could be valuable for the user.
Suppose I'm looking for "Stockhausen" (knowing exactly that I mean Karlheinz S.). But if the name "Markus Stockhausen" is shown to me after K.S., maybe this way I
find out that Karlheinz has a son, composer too.
