Hi,

I was wondering if I could get some ideas on how I could go about mapping the search of the postcode data to a geoname ID. Looking through the postcode data, I can't find a mapping to a Geoname ID.

I have a database table called "geonames" filled with the cities from the geoname dump. I would like to extend an auto complete search I have built to allow searching for post codes to lookup a particular geoname.

eg.

Search to find Melbourne, Australia Geoname could either be done by "Melbourne" or "3000" to map to the same Geoname.
