It's pretty cool, isn't it?
But unfortunately, it doesn't work for me too.

Google is turning into something like Ultimate Recognition System. They recognize address, email address, may be soon they will add an option to OCR an image into Writely.

Nice, nothing here too. Maybe a GreaseMonkey Script (But then again, there's no monkey in the status bar)

Nothing here also.

Btw, the idea is similar to one back in Northern Light's day, Geosearch. It used a special search box but matched against addresses on the open web that were geocoded. Danny found issues but when he tested the company that powered the search said all addresses in the WEB index were not all geocoded at that time. Well, a couple of years later, we saw the end of Northern Light.

"Another plus to using GeoSearch is that any addresses found on a web page will appear below that page's listing, along with a link to map for those addresses."
