Any way to have the autocomplete also search names not just addresses. For example I am entering a location into the form (ex. "walmart", but want to search a business name that I do not know the address to. Right now I have to know the address to lookup an address. If I already know it, then the lookup is not as useful as it could be.

Is this possible?
thanks

Hello,
The address search is provided by google maps. Unfortunately they do not offer such an option like "to search a business name that I do not know the address to".

Hi,

But doesn't this do it?
developers.google.com/places/documentation/

You can also do it on googles site.
www.google.com/maps/

Usually you don't know the address and you need to look it up by business name.
