If you like Instant Answers, then you should read this article : http://searchenginewatch.com/showPage.html?page=3623732

It's goes into some specifics with Instant Answers, and I thought it was a pretty good read.

The picky'ness is across the board when searching for places in the UK, whether searching from live.com, local.live.com or from within outlook. It's a shame google requires far less detail

It's a little picky as to the format (not making excuses, but it is). Try it in the format of <street address>, <city>,<state or province> (using the commas). I also found that it was picky as to how the street names were spelled out. Obviously there's work still left to do on address recognition - did Sanaz move all the way to California just for that? ;)

Ha!

Not only does this not work (no map was displayed), when i typed in my address the first link was a link to a map showing my home on Google Maps. If i didn't laugh i'd cry!!!
