but if you check that site and use 07020 as zip code 3 miles radius and say 155 as street number and then enter 'rus' in the text box, it'll suggest 'Russell Ave, Edgewater, Bergen, NJ'. Now if you select that pharmacy list will be returned. That list does not contain Russell Ave, Edgewater, Bergen, NJ...now where i'm stuck is how 'Russell Ave, Edgewater, Bergen, NJ' is suggested?? its not in the db otherwise it would have been shown in the pharmacy result. (btw i'm from US so i might be missing how addresses work in there...plz bear with me on this).
thnx for the prompt reply.
