Abstract
Specified streets or intersections that are within a specified distance of a specified city can be found by a search, even when they are not actually in that city. For computational efficiency, some addresses are included in search results even when they exceed the specified distance from the specified city by a small amount ('false positives'). The search method guarantees that no instance of the street name within the specified distance of the specified city is erroneously missed ('false negatives').
