Cross street searching

[arclyte]

Hello there,

I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with searching cross streets.  We have an open text search field that we'd like to search by a number of methods (ie, address, neighborhood, landmark, cross streets).  I'm using the Google Places API autocomplete code and it works very well for most of the data, but while even the native google maps search does not complete cross streets they do a very good job of actually locating them when entered.  I'm thinking I could probably send a request to geocode the address entered if it doesn't match an autocomplete value, but I'm not sure if that's the best way to go about it.  Just wanted to see if anyone else has done this and could share their ideas.  Thanks!
