Hi there I am creating an application that allows the user to enter a street name and for the application to display the relevant map.
Basically I have a list of all the street names sorted in alphabetical order and I am using "findPosNear" to find the nearest match. Unfortunately this doesnt seem to work perfectly when there are spaces in the street name. For example when I type in "Llwyn Castan" I am given "Llwyn Derw Road" as the closest match instead of "Llwyn Castan". I guess it is due to the spaces in the words and the way findPosNear works. Anyone got a fix for this or a better algorithm for doing a word match like this? Another weird thing is that on the Mac, I am getting slightly different results e.g when I type in "Llwyn Castan" I am given "Llwyn Drysgol" Again, any ideas or help much appreciated.
