GeoNames Forum

I'm curious about the performance of your Premium Web Services and how much quicker a search under a dedicated account actually is?

(Yes, I've read)

Do you have links that you can provide of projects using The GeoNames Premium Web Service?

I'm specifically interested in doing a your "full text search":
http://www.geonames.org/export/geonames-search.html

Code:

 ...
 data: {
                     style: "medium",
                     maxRows: 10,
                     featureClass: "P",
                     continentCode: ["NA","SA","EU"],
                     q: request.term,
                 }
 ...

With a search of this type, how many credits are used?

The search services needs one credit per request:

The premium services are always fast, whereas the free servers are sometimes fast and sometimes overloaded and slower. If you get a free server with few load the query will be as fast as with the premium service.
