Unfortunately, there's not really any way to make the control center on a clicked marker without overriding a significant portion of the gm.LocalSearch() code. You might check out my [Semi] Advanced Google Maps Local Search Control. It will auto-center on a result and offers built-in directions functionality. Check it out here:
