Look at this page: http://gmaps-samples-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geocoder/v3-geocoder-tool.html
Enter a place to search for and look at the result returned from Google. I'm pretty sure that not all results contain a viewport bounds (but could be wrong!) so you'd have to test for it's presence and if present you can use that with the Map fitBounds() method to better pan and zoom your map.
