Enter an address to cause the following lookups: * geocoding * mapping * jurisdiction lookup * agency * governing board * elected position

How

Enter an address in a search form, like /search?q=300 Hemlock St. 95688

The Search Controller will read the address query, then geocode that address, then lookup the features for that address, then lookup the information from DMap.
