Don't get overly carried away with the google worshiping quite yet pals o' mine. The addy's it spits out are sometimes pretty f-ing far from what you search for.
Examples from my experiance today:

I put in: 5458 WEST POINTE PLAZA DR COLUMBUS OH 43228

it spit out: 771 South 30th St
Heath, OH 43056

Somehow I think it's confused.

I'm sure many of you will feel compelled to post how well it works for you. That's nice.

Pretty much, it's been working really well for me too. I played around with adding and leaving out ZIPs and got vastly different results for searches. It will move an address completely out of a city, and return addys without even similar street names or numbers.

Just remember it is a beta, not a gift from god.
