How does AddressFinder work?

AddressFinder is a Javascript widget that turns your form's address fields into an autocomplete that connects to our database of addresses. When a user enters the first 2 characters of an address into the autocomplete, it sends a message to the AddressFinder database to lookup the address. The database sends back a list of addresses that are the closest matches to what the user has entered so far.

The list of matching addresses is visible to the user as they type and is updated with every character they enter. The user can simply select the correct address from the list and the selected address data will automatically populate the required address fields in your form.

It takes an average of 0.1 seconds for the AddressFinder database to return matching addresses, so the user will see these results almost immediately as they enter the address.
