I would assume that sites like this know these words as synonyms and don't simply do a lax string matching, because in this specific case "Gothenburg" would probably also work - it did when I was planning a route through Sweden with a German app that defaults to local spellings in foreign countries.

Fuzzy completion in search forms as one types, like e.g. in Google Maps, is also effective.
