Hi all!

Happy new year!

I am using the web service to search for postal codes in The Netherlands. When I use only numbers (i.e. 4021), I get the correct result.

The info page http://www.geonames.org/countries/NL/netherlands.html sais that the postal code format is #### @@. But when I search for 4021 AB, I get no result.

Is there any possibility to search for #### @@ and get any results?

Thank you for your help!

The database only contains the first part of the code. For this reason it cannot be searched using the letters after the digits.
