is it possible to cross-reference the geodata with own database and display results in Suggest? #3

Congrats on a great plugin. It's really, really cool.

I'm thinking this could be a great tool for me, and others, if I could 
cross-reference the results from the geocoding with my own DB and display 
the aggregated results in the suggest.

e.g. If I had a DB with all the Starbucks shops, and someone started typing 
"Palo Alto" could I extract the city, or street, or lat+long from Google's 
geocoding results, query my DB with this data to get the number of 
Starbuck's, and display the original geocoding data + number of Starbucks 
in the suggest?

I can think of so many uses for this plugin if it can be cross-referenced 
in this way!

Thanks in advance
Mel
