how they break out the fields in highways and we're not using the fullname
-- just the parts. We had similar issues with the base geocoder which we
fixed. So probably just requires porting a bit of the same logic to
fix.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>The plot thickens further. I used QGIS to view the
<B>tiger_data.tx_edges</B> table. I had it label everything using the
<B>fullname</B> column. I found the intersection:
<DIV><IMG title=intersection.png alt=intersection.png
src="cid:334335320@20122011-3661"></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>So clearly, N Denton Tap Rd and State Hwy 121 intersect. However, both of
these queries produce no results (delta is highlighted):</DIV>
<DIV><B><FONT face="'courier new', monospace">SELECT * FROM
geocode_intersection('State Hwy 121', 'N Denton Tap Rd', 'TX', <SPAN

<DIV><B><FONT face="'courier new', monospace">SELECT * FROM
geocode_intersection('State Hwy 121', 'N Denton Tap Rd', 'TX');</FONT></B></DIV>

<DIV>Certainly I'm hitting against a bug?</DIV>

<DIV>Getting closer.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I checked the <B>tiger_data.tx_featnames</B> table's
<B>fullname</B> column and am finding many references to <B>State Hwy
121</B>, matched using <B>like %121%</B>.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>To match Denton Tap Rd., I have to use <B>like %Denton Tap%</B> in my
<B>select</B>. Lower case (<B>%denton tap%</B>) produces no results--but not
sure if that's relevant to the <B>geocode_intersection</B> issue here.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>OK, so I run this query:</DIV>
<DIV><B><FONT face="'courier new', monospace">SELECT * FROM
geocode_intersection('State Hwy 121', 'Denton Tap', 'TX',
'Coppell');</FONT></B></DIV>
<DIV>...and get no results!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I also tried these:</DIV>
<DIV>
<UL>
<LI><B>Denton Tap Rd</B>
<LI><B>N Denton Tap Rd</B>
<LI><B>S Denton Tap Rd</B></LI></UL>
<DIV>Not clear what's the deal here. One of these ought to match, especially
since there are two TX 121s meeting with Denton Tap.</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I also tried omitting the city and still get nothing:</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="'courier new', monospace"><B>SELECT * FROM
geocode_intersection('State Hwy 121', 'Denton Tap', 'TX');</B></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I cannot figure out how to represent a state highway in the TIGER

<UL>

<LI>TX 121
<LI>Texas state highway 121 </LI></UL>
