Abstract
A method for performing a location search includes receiving a location search query, identifying one or more geographic feature documents that satisfy the location search query, ranking the identified geographic feature documents in accordance with scores that are based, at least in part, on corresponding address support scores, to produce a set of ranked documents, and providing results, in accordance with the ranked documents, that identify at least one geographic feature corresponding to at least one of the ranked documents. An address support score for an identified geographic feature document can be based on one or more of: a standalone support score and a template support score.
