Its ok.

FTS is Full Text Search

http://www.geonames.org/maps/json-googlemaps-example-postal-code.html

In this link it is not searching for UK postal/Zip code

Suja

If you want to search for place names and postal codes you have to use the parameter 'placename' instead of the parameter postal code :

http://ws.geonames.org/postalCodeSearch?placename=kent&maxRows=10&style=FULL

For UK postal codes we only have the first four letters :
http://www.geonames.org/postalcode-search.html?q=so51

The full UK postal codes are not freely available and we cannot use them.

Dear Marc
Thanks alot for your help.

It is just showing related places but it should show the places on map as you earlier
For example

Hi Suja

I was posting the link to the postal code search page to show you what information is available in the geonames database. In the JSON example you have to type 'so51' to make it work. For your users you have to extract the first 4 characters to make it work, or the prefix extraction could be done on the geonames server side.

Thanks marc for your help

hi marc,
This working fine.
Help me to search along conutry name and it should highlight the particular place as like search in geonames

Rply me plz

Hi marc

i need to search both for pincode as well as contry name.Is it possible to integrate both things.Please reply me soon.

Hi Suja

Search for country names is already included in the example :
http://www.geonames.org/maps/json-googlemaps-example-postal-code.html

try searching for 'Switzerland 9011' and it will bring you to Switzerland. Or try the same postal code 'Norway 9011' and it will bring you to Norway.

If you want to have a drop down list, you can use the parameter country. Please read the documentation for details :

Hi marc,

I need search button and textbox in my website.If i click search it should appear map in popup window with particular postalcode entered.

Is it possible

hi everybody

Anyone help me is it possible to open map alone as popup.

Hi Suja

Yes it is possible, but it needs a little bit of javascript know-how. I suggest to read some javascript tutorials, as it is not a geonames related problem.
