Search query

With GsFindFirstStreet you can define options that narrow the matches returned by GeoStan.

When you use GsFindFirstStreet you use the city or ZIP Code to set the finance area of a search. A finance area can contain more than one ZIP Code or city. Therefore, GeoStan may return results that are in the finance area specified by the locale you entered, but the result may not be in the actual ZIP Code or city you entered.

You can narrow the number of matches GeoStan returns by setting the whole or partial street name. For example, if you are searching for "Apple," GeoStan returns the streets within the finance area with the names of "APPLE," "APPLETON," and "APPLE ORCHARD." You can set the street name based on the actual spelling of the name, or by the soundex value of the name.

You can further narrow the matches returned by GeoStan by indicating a house number. If you specify a house number, GeoStan only returns matches that have ranges that include the house number.
