Scenario:

The client is building a web application that will use autoComplete to provide a location search feature.
Users of the web application will use autoComplete to search for civic addresses, localities and streets.

Issue:

When users provide a partial address that does not contain a civic number (locality or street search), the results can be broad due to the number of possible matches, aliases, spell check etc.

Task:

Introduce a new boolean parameter that can be used in combination with autoComplete (name tbd: perhaps 'exactSpelling').
If true, the resulting list of suggestions will begin with the partial address.
Default value is false
