 Do you think there is anything you can do to find matches on slightly
 different spellings of street names?

 One case of this is when a compound name is spelled with a space in the
 middle.  For example:
 COTTAGE WOOD instead of COTTAGEWOOD


 --this works great[[BR]]
 select (addy).*,*
 from geocode('8525 COTTAGEWOOD TERR, Blaine, MN 55434')

 --But an alternate spelling of COTTAGE WOOD throws it WAY off[[BR]]
 select (addy).*,*
 from geocode('8525 COTTAGE WOOD TERR, Blaine, MN 55434')
