GeoExtux_GeoNamesSearchCombo

This widget is directly taken from the GeoExt.ux eXtensions. Basically, it’s a textbox where the user can input anything, like City name, Countries, Street names, etc. While the text is entered, a request is sent to an external (public) database and GeoReferenced results are displayed in a list. Clicking on any result recenters the map to its location.
