Google Maps - search within bounds / viewport -

i want search return hits within map/viewport. zoom in on britain , search london map bounds, response return 3 hits in us. how limit search?

code:

function codeaddress(){     geocoder = new google.maps.geocoder();     var address = document.getelementbyid("inputaddress").value;     var bounds = map.getbounds();     geocoder.geocode({address: address, bounds: bounds}, function(results, status){         if(status == google.maps.geocoderstatus.ok){             // put markers on each hit         }     }); } 

i'm assuming limiting results trying plot relevant markers right?

so instead of limiting search directly, can try indirect approach. if(status == google.maps.geocoderstatus.ok){ // put markers on each hit }

in if loop can use method called contains() on bounds of map, so

if(status == google.maps.geocoderstatus.ok) {         if(map.getbounds().contains(result-location)) {             // put markers on each hit         }     } 

where result-location location of result returned geocode request. way plot markers within maps bounds.

hope helps.
