Hey all-- I don't think an autocompleting geocoder exists in the open right now, so I added the capability into twofishes.
If you spin up a twofishes server, you can play with it at /static/autocomplete.html ex: http://cl.ly/image/1s2o3033011k http://cl.ly/image/1s2o3033011k the matching algorithm isn't perfect: http://cl.ly/image/3w2G0r222B2d and I took a few shortcuts -- no postal codes (so I don't need to save the lat/lng for fuzzy non-hierarchy matching in the rough serving structure), and it needs to match right-to-left. It doesn't start matching until 3 characters in. Contact me if you want a prebuilt index off the geonames data. --dave
