I am using the geocoding API

Say a users enters a search for:
McDonalds near Houston (For example)
it gives me
Houston, TX, USA

Which is great. However, I'm wondering how on a generic basis I can
separate search text such as McDonalds from the part that just got
geocoded.

I don't think I can always assume the middle word is "near" or "in."
Because what if the actual location has those words in it? Also, users
may just enter a location without any extra search text.

It would be great if the API returned either the part of the text that
was actually geocoded, or the remaining text that was not geocoded.
That would solve this problem (if the google maps api developers are
reading this :-).

Otherwise, how do I solve this problem in a generic way?
