I have an issue with users doing a lookup on street address.

the issue is the following:

If the address the user wants is 123A mockingird st. It'll mess up on
street; str. etc...

My solution was to only look at the first "word" in the search box; So
if you have a mockingbird Lane and a mockingbird circle I would return
both. I also ignored street numbers; (This is for a market area
search; not one specific address)

My issues doing this right now are: I'm missing numbered streets
(F.ex: 14th street)

This seems like asuch a common problem; are there any libraries for
this; what is the "correct" way to handle this? How do google;
Mapquest and Yahoo do this? (I don't have quite their resources; but
it would point me in the right direction...)

Thank you very much and everybody have a great thanksgiving.

Hajo
