When suggesting to auto-annotate identical toponyms in the text annotation area, Recogito looks for exact matches of "[placename] ". E.g. when annotating "Sardis", Recogito would suggest all occurrences of "Sardis " (mind the trailing space!).

The reason is that this was an initial quick fix for avoid false matches to terms that start with or contain the place name. (Assumption being that the occasional miss is less of a problem than Recogito introducing lots of false matches.)

An unwanted consequence to this is now that place names followed by interpunctuation ("Sardis,", "Sardis.", "Sardis:", etc.) won't be matched either. Should be relatively easy to fix, but we need to define a reasonable rule.
