Geocoding search not function properly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to 
http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geocoder/singlegeocode.html
2. In search box enter "Dzona Kenedija" (no quotes or with Serbian characters 
"Džona Kenedija") which is valid street name in Belgrade, Serbia
3. Observe result is not found
4. Now enter same name on cyrilic encoding "Џона Кенедија" and 
Geocoding finds proper street and its Lat/Long

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected behavior would be that both Cyrillic and Latin encoding returns proper 
value.   

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Not really important since it is online example of Google simple geocoding

Please provide any additional information below.
This is pretty much show stopper for developers who are for example developing 
closest match. E.g. using Google geocoding I would like to enter my address and 
based on that, from local database that holds Lat/Long information, I would 
like to show marker on Google maps. If my address is Dzona Kenedija Google maps 
will always return "not found" unless its written in Cyrillic.
