				<title>Autocompleting geonames geocoder in scala</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hey all--

I don't think I ever announced twofishes on this forum https://github.com/foursquare/twofishes

it's a very fast in-memory geocoder written in scala based on the geonames data.

It can do splitting (pizza new york) --> [pizza] near [new york]. It can do full geocoding. It can now do autocompleting with highlighting too: http://cl.ly/image/1s2o3033011k

I have an index built off the geonames database that I'm happy to distribute (my understanding is geonames is basically PD with attribution, I'm attributing the index and data to GN and ask that you do the same, please tell me if this is unacceptable),  contact me off forum for the link. Alternatively, building an index on a mega aws box only takes an hour or two.
