Trouble finding certain places using Here Places autosuggest

I have implemented the Here Places API for autocomplete suggestions. However a lot of places aren't showing up unless you type in the address. For example if I search for "Depannage 2ade" or different variant of that name, I dont get any results. However if I type in the physical address, I can get a result.
I figured this was because there wasn't enough information on the place in the Here app however I went on mapcreator.here.com to add information on the place in hope of adding it but I found that by typing in the address, in the map creator the name is already there. So I was wondering if there was maybe a parameter missing from my request that were preventing some places to show or maybe something that I'm doing wrong.
$.ajax({
url: "https://places.cit.api.here.com/places/v1/autosuggest" +
"?app_id=KEY" +
"&app_code=KEY",
dataType: "json",
data: {
q: val,
at: companyGeo.replace(" ",""),
size: '5',
result_types: 'address,place',
addressFilter: 'countryCode=fra'
},
type: "GET",
});
Basically I used address and places as filter and I search within the country of France. I can only find the place by typing the address and not the name. This isn't the case for ALL places but for many it is, and I find that odd since in the mapcreator they do have a place name entered.

Make sure you are using the new Places base URL:
https://places.ls.hereapi.com which uses the latest authentication method (apiKey). So retry your query with this new API URL.
Note also that the cit environment is only for testing and should not be used in production.

How to set the maxJsonLength property?

I have a JsonResult returning 29833 records, of a CustomerID and a CustomerName. I am trying to load this into an AutoComplete, but I keep getting this error.
Error during serialization or deserialization using the JSON JavaScriptSerializer. The length of the string exceeds the value set on the maxJsonLength property.
I did some digging around on the subject and came across this link here
So I read over it and the answer provided didn't work out for me and then the next suggestion looked promising until I looked more at the code and came to the conclusion that it won't work for me because I am using JQuery Ajax to get the JsonResult. Now I am not sure what to do, here is the JQuery that I am using
function LoadCustomers() {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "/Test/GetAllCustomers",
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
ShowCustomers(data);
}
});
}
function ShowCustomers(custdata) {
$("#acCustomers").kendoAutoComplete({
dataSource: custdata,
filter: "startswith",
placeholder: "Select Customer...",
dataTextField: "CustomerName"
});
}
I even tried just populating a grid but to no avail. Any idea's on how I can get this to work properly going about it the way I am going about it? I think as a last resort I would have to change my stored procedure around and pass in characters on every keyup event, I don't know if that would be a good idea or maybe it is, I don't know. Either way I sure could use some help or direction
EDIT
The reason that this is not a duplicate based on the supplied link is because I am not working server-side, I am working Client-Side.
EDIT 2
Here is my JsonResult
public JsonResult GetAllCustomers(string name)
{
PGDAL dal = new PGDAL();
List<Customer> lst = dal.GetAllCustomers();
return Json(lst, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

One thing I have learned from some experience is that it seems like ASP.net MVC ignores any JSON Max value you place in the Web.config file. I normally just do the following:
var JsonSerializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
JsonSerializer.MaxJsonLength = Int32.MaxValue;
As Paul Swetz linked up top, you might find some more resources in managing the MAX value but I am pretty sure this will be the most widely accepted answer.

Using JSON to store multiple form entries

I'm trying to create a note taking web app that will simply store notes client side using HTML5 local storage. I think JSON is the way to do it but unsure how to go about it.
I have a simple form set up with a Title and textarea. Is there a way I can submit the form and store the details entered with several "notes" then list them back?
I'm new to Javascript and JSON so any help would be appreciated.

there are many ways to use json.
1> u can create a funciton on HTML page and call ajax & post data.
here you have to use $("#txtboxid").val(). get value and post it.
2> use knock out js to bind two way.and call ajax.
here is simple code to call web app. using ajax call.
var params = { "clientID": $("#txtboxid") };
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http:localhost/Services/LogisticsAppSuite.svc/Json/GetAllLevelSubClients",
contentType: 'application/json',
data: JSON.stringify(params),
dataType: 'json',
async: false,
cache: false,
success: function (response) {
},
error: function (ErrorResponse) {
}

I have written a lib that works just like entity framework. I WILL put it here later, you can follow me there or contact me to get the source code now. Then you can write js code like:
var DemoDbContext = function(){ // define your db
nova.data.DbContext.call(this);
this.notes=new nova.data.Repository(...); // define your table
}
//todo: make DemoDbContext implement nova.data.DbContext
var Notes = function(){
this.id=0; this.name="";
}
//todo: make Note implement nova.data.Entity
How to query data?
var notes = new DemoDbContext().notes.toArray(function(data){});
How to add a note to db?
var db = new DemoDbContext();
db.notes.add(new Note(...));
db.saveChanges(callback);

Depending on the complexity of the information you want to store you may not need JSON.
You can use the setItem() method of localStorage in HTML5 to save a key/value pair on the client-side. You can only store string values with this method but if your notes don't have too complicated a structure, this would probably be the easiest way. Assuming this was some HTML you were using:
<input type="text" id="title"></input>
<textarea id="notes"></textarea>
You could use this simple Javascript code to store the information:
// on trigger (e.g. clicking a save button, or pressing a key)
localStorage.setItem('title', document.getElementById('title').value);
localStorage.setItem('textarea', document.getElementById('notes').value);
You would use localStorage.getItem() to retrieve the values.
Here is a simple JSFiddle I created to show you how the methods work (though not using the exact same code as above; this one relies on a keyup event).
The only reason you might want to use JSON, that I can see, is if you needed a structure with depth to your notes. For example you might want to attach notes with information like the date they were written and put them in a structure like this:
{
'title': {
'text':
'date':
}
'notes': {
'text':
'date':
}
}
That would be JSON. But bear in mind that the localStorage.setItem() method only accepts string values, you would need to turn the object into a string to do that and then convert it back when retrieving it with localStorage.getItem(). The methods JSON.stringify will do the object-to-string transformation and JSON.parse will do the reverse. But as I say this conversion means extra code and is only really worth it if your notes need to be that complicated.

Backbone.js without REST using ASP .net webservice

(sorry for the english)
I have a ASP .net webservice that get data from a oracle database returning JSON data.
TestWebService.asmx/getUserData
I test this using simply ajax request with jQuery
$.ajax({
type:"POST",
data:"{}",
dataType:"json",
contentType:"application/json; charset=utf-8",
url:"TestWebService.asmx/getUserData",
success:function(data){
console.log(data.d);
}
});
This work.
But now i want to try use Backbone.js
The Application have this: User data, Articles and Buy Order where a Buy order is a collection of Articles, so i think in this models for Backbone
User = Backbone.Model.extend({})
Article = Backbone.Model.extend({})
ArticleCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({})
BuyOrder = Backbone.Model.extend({})
BuyOrderCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({})
The Views are just 2. A Form where i show the User Data and inputs to add Articles and create the Buy Order and a Visualize view to show the Buy Orders where the user can see an check the content of one buy order clicking in the code.
The UserData, and part of the Article Data are get from the service: (User Data like name and Article Data like code, description, price, etc).
¿How can i populate the Backbone models with this data?
Thanks in advance.

So, basically, you want to override Backbone.sync. It is the thing that is currently doing your RESTful stuff (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE) via the $.ajax function as well. See how it is implemented by default: http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/docs/backbone.html#section-134
As you can tell, it is really quite simple... about 30 or so lines of code to map create/update/delete/read to post/put/delete/get in $.ajax.
Now that you have seen how they do it, you just implement your own using the same pattern:
Backbone.sync = function(method, model, options) {
// your implementation
};
Once you do that, you are golden. Your models will do all the CRUD that you want them to, abstracted through your implementation of Backbone.sync.

How do I get the counter of a google plus +1 button?

I have added a google +1 button to a website, but I want to get it's counter so i can do some math over it. is it possible to enter the iframe created by the standard method of creating the +1 button or do I need to make some adjustment?
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script>
<g:plusone></g:plusone>
I've tried this link:1 , but this is not very accurate

If you can access curl/file_get_contents/readfile/wget or some way to fetch an external URL, this is quite simple.
Load the following URL: https://plusone.google.com/_/+1/fastbutton?url=URLENCODED_URI (UPDATED URL, see note below *)
URLENCODED_URI is the site you wish to know the number of +1's for, e.g. http://www.google.com (http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com)
For example, fetch the URI https://plusone.google.com/_/+1/fastbutton?url=http://www.google.com/ (UPDATED URI) and locate the first occurance of window.__SSR = {'c': 32414.0 ,'si'. Preferably use regexp for this, but I'll leave the implementation to you and your chosen programming language (server side or client side).
The float number following 'c' is the number of +1's the site have. For google.com this is 32,414. Don't worry about the float, you can safely convert it to an integer.
* UPDATE: The URL has been updated as the old URL started to 404. Remember, this is expected as this is an unofficial method. There exist no official method (yet).

Could you use a callback function to grab the value of the div that displays the count?
function count() {
var count = $('#aggregateCount').html();
}
<g:plusone callback="count()"></g:plusone>
I'm basing this off the bubble annotation button, I haven't tested it but something like this should work.

A pure client-side solution that works for me to get the Google Plus counter is as follows. It does not need an API key.
var url = "http://www.yoursite-to-be-counted.com";
var data = {
"method":"pos.plusones.get",
"id": url,
"params":{
"nolog":true,
"id": url,
"source":"widget",
"userId":"#viewer",
"groupId":"#self"
},
"jsonrpc":"2.0",
"key":"p",
"apiVersion":"v1"
};
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "https://clients6.google.com/rpc",
processData: true,
contentType: 'application/json',
data: JSON.stringify(data),
success: function(r){
setCount($(".google-plus-count"), r.result.metadata.globalCounts.count);
}
});
var setCount = function($item, count) {
if (count) {
$item.text(count);
}
};
Then I have some html with
<div class="google-plus-count"></div>
