HI
   I am new to postgis geocoding.

I have installed postgis 2.0 with fuzzy search, and imported the tiger data for usa.

   Now for geocoding  non-exist  or some not accurate addresses

e.g:  38 blair mill rod, glenside, pa

its output:

   SELECT g.rating, ST_X(g.geomout) As lon, ST_Y(g.geomout) As lat,
(addy).address As stno, (addy).streetname As street,
(addy).streettypeabbrev As styp, (addy).location As city, (addy).stateabbrev As st,(addy).zip
FROM geocode('38 blair mill rod, glenside,pa') As g;
rating | lon | lat | stno | street | styp | city | st | zip
--------+-------------------+------------------+------+--------+------+------------------+----+-------

none of them is in glenside, PA

what I would like the result is: return some addresses or center in glenside, PA instead of other cities address?

Is it possible?  Is there anyway to specify the weight of the search?

like city: glenside has some weight during the geocode search?

the state : PA has more weight?





thanks
