title: Google Maps API 3 - searching the map like on maps.google.com
body: <p>I appear to be missing something here so I'm hoping someone can point at the place I should be looking. 
  I have a google map on my HTML page that I am manipulating to load markers and add markers on click, now I want a search box so people can search for the general area before they click to add a location.
  I am reading the Google Maps API <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/basics.html" rel="nofollow">developers guide</a> but I can't seem to find how to do this..<br>
  I know I must be missing it so can someone point me in the right direction!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks so much in advance and sorry for the silly question!</p>
