City or area misspellings

[NashvilleRealEstate]

How do I account for common misspellings of cities/areas when creating an area snippet?

You could make an entry for each one like:

$_REQUEST['search_city'][] = "cityspelling1";
$_REQUEST['search_city'][] = "cityspelling2";
$_REQUEST['search_city'][] = "cityspelling2";
$_REQUEST['search_city'][] = "cityspelling3";

It amazes me that the MLS boards would let agents enter misspelled cities, not to mention the agents not being able to spell the city they are listing the property in.

Thank you,

Thanks Aaron! It amazes me as well.... in the search options set up for my page there are several spellings Antioch and Cane Ridge. I had the hardest time trying to figure out whether to leave the different spellings or not. I opted to leave them because they were in the list directly from the mls and I really didn't know any better so there they are. What i hate about it is that it reflects on my site (me) as not knowing how to spell each city. On the flip side it would be worse to not have them there and many homes be impossible to find.

Thanks again!
