I am currently working with the Google Maps API and returning static maps (images) from the API.

I need to place markers on the map. The documentation says how to place markers on the map by defining long/lat values: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/#Markers

My problem is that i don´t know where to place the markers. I want a google maps search phrase to determine the placement of the markers. Is that possible?

To sum up:

I want to submit a search phrase to the API and have a static map (image) returned with markers matching my search phrase.
