Cool thanks.  That's really close to what I want.  I don't know how 
important substring matching is.

Quick poll of the list: when searching for, say, "Sydney", would you 
expect to see results like "City of Sydney", or would it not bother you 
so long as you got the right area on the map.

Incidentally there are three Sydney's in Africa.  The British were 
inventive with their names, yes?.
