I can't always geocode the results though because sometimes the users just search for something like "free" or "outdoor". I know it would be impossible to catch ALL of the addresses but I would just like to do the most common ones that I've seen people search for on my website. Perhaps I could have a series of regex's that it goes, though and if a match is found, the geocode is performed, and if not then a full text search or something occurs. I am a novice when it comes to regular expressions so I was hoping someone could give me some examples or their thoughts on the subject.
