Nick,
We do proximity searches in our application.
We bought a zip code database for $5 from teamredline.com
and I blogged about the transact-SQL code that we use here:

Hi folks,
We need to create a search feature that includes a zip code locator such
that the searcher can enter their zip code and then get search results
within a certain radius (e.g. within 20 miles, etc.).
This has no doubt been done many times. Is there a best practice for doing
this
Folks,
Thanks a million for the posts!

h lat/long data and you can do you distance searches that way. Won't be
very accurate, but might be good enough for some applications.

was last updated this month.

ZipCodes aren't geographic areas, they are postal service delivery routes. Some
of them have really wacky layouts and boundaries. In some places, a building
has it's own zipcode. I also recommend you geocode each address, then do the
distance math between lat-lons. Google it and you'll find seve

it's funny though most sites do it the other way.
For example use the Subway sandwich site, I live in area code 80528 which is a

The reason why using a zipcodes lat and lon don't work is because lets say

outer western edge and person 2 is in zipcode 2

first thing to decide is how accurate you want it. If you just go by zipcode
you could be 2 - 200 miles off the actual distance. If you want it accurate you
need to use actual addresses.

Hi Doug,
I have a zip code locator built into the CMS I'm working on. Feel free to
grab the code: http://activecharity.riaforge.org -- unzip the file and find
the file /members/profilesearch.cfm.
A more or less working version of it is here:

I am needing to implement a search within "X" miles of zipcode feature on my
