				<title>Can't get a Country list using name_startsWith?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I'm trying to figure out how to do an autocomplete country list.  Problem is, the "name_startsWith" parameter doesn't seem to work with the actual country list:

http://api.geonames.org/countryInfoJSON?username=demo&name_startsWith=f

So instead, I tried this:

http://api.geonames.org/searchJSON?username=demo&name_startsWith=f

This time, the name_startsWith parameter worked fine...but those results don't seem to be limited to countries.

This can't possibly be that hard.  I've seen country list implementations using hard-coded lists, surely it's possible to do the same against the GeoNames API?

What am I not seeing?]]></description>
