Comment(by mikepease):

 Thanks, Regina.  I'll get your latest version and re-run my list.
 Seems like we're increasing the percentage of accurate geocodes.  I'll do
 some comparisons to see.

 I'm interested to try this region filter.  Along this concept, have you
 considered an optional parameter for favoring parts of the address?  For
 example, maybe you know that the zip is accurate or maybe the city.  So,
 could the geocoder do a similar filter as the region filter based on the
 desired components of the address?

 For example (not in correct SQL syntax):

 favorOptions.zip = true;

 favorOptions.city = true;

 geocode('212 N 3rd Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55401', favorOptions);
