Hi,
I haven't found anything on google or in this group.

I am using limited local search to find businesses around particular
coordinate.
LocalSearch returns pretty good results in the GsearchResultClass
structure - name of business, address, city, state and phone.
Anything missing? Well, yes, the zip code. Why is it not included?

Same issue with Google Maps geocoder obviously - it doesn't include
postal code if you do geocoding of an address, see xml data
transmitted here for example:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/examples/geocoding-simple.html

It does make some degree of sense in case of Maps (zip being an
artificial thing), but in case of Local Search it makes very little
sense - these addresses come from yellow pages and as such do carry
that info in the original data source.

I guess my question is if there is any web service API from Google
which i could use to find postal code of an address/coordinate. I can
already do the reverse (just put the zip in the above geocoding
example)
