Q.  With Google Maps, how can I geo-search for one address and mark it
with something else?

A.  Here you go:

map = new GMap2(document.getElementById('map_canvas'));
geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();

function showAddress(geoaddress, displayaddress) {
	// Error checking removed
	geocoder.getLatLng(
		geoaddress,
		function(point) {
			map.setCenter(point, 13);
			var marker = new GMarker(point);
			map.addOverlay(marker);
			marker.openInfoWindowHtml(displayaddress);
		}
	);
}

function exampleUse() {
	showAddress('123 Main St, My Town', 'My House');
}
