Your wish shall be answered. You can prevent dangling prepositions, such
as the one above, by rearranging your sentence a little.

"I am doing some searching and researching but I also know that this
world famous group may have some insight and resources that I can
benefit from."

Would become:

"I am doing some searching and researching but I also know that this
world famous group may have some insight and resources that from which I
can benefit."

If you want to be technical, Cummings....
"I have been searching and researching, but I am aware that this
world-famous group may be able to offer some insight and resources
from which I may benefit."

Similarly...

"Is anyone aware of anything like this that they can point me to?"

Would become:

"Is anyone aware of anything like this to which they can point me?"

.... and....
"Is anyone aware of a similar system or database?"


As to your actual question... no idea :)

Honestly, me either.  I've built ZIP-code-to-longitude/latitude
points, but nothing with address suggestion.

Jay, are you also looking for the PLUS+4 ZIP code information?  Is it
possible that the USPS (if you're looking for US addresses) has a free
or low-cost API?


Cheers,
Rob.
