Comment (by enrico.sorcinelli):

 @adamsilverstein I just updated the patch according to your suggestions.

 Yes, this patch will avoid to send request to server by typing additional
 spaces to the current query. Also, based on DB collate setting, it make
 the queries lowercase (this can reduce also requests to server and/or any
 server caching using query as key).

 The `normalizeQuery` function doesn't strictly related to TinyMCE plugins,
 so I added a new one unit test file ''tests/qunit/wp-
 includes/js/wplink.js'' where you could see some normalization examples.

 And finally, yes, the function can be added to the wp namespace (like
 `wp.api.utils` for example) if you think it appropriate.
