Description
Most of the time, you want to go to the nearest city whose partial name matches your query. So items in city search should be sorted by distance, not necessarily by name (maybe put an option to choose how to sort).

I think that a complete different search mask for that would be needed. That dialog could also be used for poi search then.

The problem is, to find the "closest" town to you, you would need to compute the route from you to that town.
The town can then go on a fib-heap
Repeat for N towns, all starting with the letter's G-A-L
Sort the stack.

3 years and no progres???
just do this:
s.lat = lat. at center of screen now s.lon = lon. at center of screen now sr.lat = lat. of serach result item sr.lon = lon. of serach result item d=abs(st.lat-s.lat)+abs(st.lon-s.lon) sort by d
its not accurate, but fast and easy to do

Sorry for disappointing you, but as you see, we had very limited dev ressources. If you like to contribute code, just append a diff file.
I like to add to your idea, that we should make this search criteria visible to the users. Otherwise they might be confused, as mosts lists everwhere are sort in a alphabetical manner. So to avoid confusion, we might list the distance or at least present buttons that allow to toggle the sort criterias
Version 0.6 will cover such UX improvements that are less essential.
