User may input the following string for location for a search, like (www.yelp.com) e.g.:
453 adams St, Dorchester, MA 02122
or
Wellesley, MA
or
02457
or
MA
Is there an extension to parse the string into “city”, “state”, and “zip” ? I checked out the Yii extension and couldn’t find any related things. But I think it’s a common task, somebody must have done it before.
Thank you!
Full text search on those three fields?
I never saw a extension for this.
Try phpclasses, google and then create a component for this based on your finds and add to the repository =)
I don’t know what is Full text search. But just search against database related field, e.g.: business.state = ‘MA’, and business.zip = ‘02493’, etc.
Gosh… It’s challenging for me, but I will definitely share it with you guys if I come across some result.
You’d need to parse the input using regex, Parse city, state and zip, compare the result using CDbCriteria::compare() perhaps with $partialMatch set to ‘true’.

Thanks a lot, Putera! Do you know what kind language is the above code? I am not familiar with this, let along the logic…
It is JSON
