[Xastir-dev] geocoder and "find address" input length

[J. Lance Cotton]

I just tried out the "find address" feature using the geocoder and ran into 
a problem finding my parents' address:

The input line for the street didn't let me enter the whole address. They 
live on a TX Farm-to-Market road, which is usually abbreviated as FM, but 
the labels in my shapefiles show it as "W Farm-to-Marked Road XXXX"

When I type the full address:
YYYY W Farm-To-Market Road XXXX", I can't fit it all in because it's too 
long (won't let me type past "...Road XX". Is there a reason for this limit?

It didn't work when I tried just "YYYY W FM XXXX", so I figured the geocoder 
didn't have or know about the abbreviation.

(Actual street number is not really "XXXX" or "YYYY", but I don't want to 
scare my parents!)
