Google Maps used to do this, and when I entered "9831 Main St, Funky Town" once and a day later I would not remember the street number. Entering "Main" would not give me what I wanted.

Google Maps does what I want now AFAICT and entering "Main" will return "9831 Main St, Funky Town" first.

- Aggressive vs conservative. Huh? What are you talking about? What is aggressive/conservative?

The list goes on...
