The place completion tool can look up for you latitude/longitude, add county information (USA), ... . For some of this functionality, you must download data files of the countries you are interested in. Right now you have three options:
#Download geonames country files. You can do this [http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/ here freely]. {{man menu|Geonames parses fastest, so is the advised format to use.}}
#Download geonames USA state files. You can do this [http://geonames.usgs.gov/domestic/download_data.htm here freely]. This is advised for USA searches, as the data in the USA country file contains many doubles, which can be avoided by searching state per state. State info also contains county information.
#download GNS Geonet country files (not available for usa). You can do this [ftp://ftp.nga.mil/pub2/gns_data here freely with ftp].
