Hello In the UK, there are at least two towns with the name "Ludgershall". One in Buckinghamshire and one in Wiltshire.
If you search Google maps for "Ludgershall" it centres the map on the Buckinghamshire one, but doesn't give a "did you mean" choice in the left hand panel for the other one. But if you search for "Ludgershall, Wiltshire" it centers on the Wiltshire one. They are both small towns, so no reason to assume the majority of users would want one or the other. I use Google Maps on my website, and I allow users to search using it. If there are mulitple results it displays a did you mean list, if there is just one result it takes you straight to that town. This is obviously not working correctly when people search for Ludgershall, wanting the Wiltshire town. Is there a parameter in V3 to fix this? Could I have every town and street name in the World with the name Ludgershall in it returned, and is it possible to set a threshold for how relevant the results are? Thank you for your time.
