Abstract

Computerized systems and methods are provided for generating results of a search query. In accordance with some implementations, data is received that is indicative of a character string related to a location and provided as input by a user. One or more hierarchically organized data trees are retrieved, from a storage device, for administrative areas related to the input character. Thereafter, probable target addresses are determined for the location utilizing the hierarchically organized data trees for each of the administrative areas, and a list of probable target addresses is provided for display to the user based on the hierarchy of the administrative areas.
