Geocoder returning ZERO_RESULT and QUERY_LIMIT_REACHED

Question

Ok, so I have a working (almost) geocoder built, that takes in an address or lat/lon combination, and suggests results see here:

$(this).autocomplete({

        source:function (request, response) {

            if (geocoder == null) {
                geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
            }
            geocoder.geocode({'address':request.term }, function (results, status) {

                if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
                    var searchLoc = results[0].geometry.location;
                    var lat = results[0].geometry.location.lat();
                    var lng = results[0].geometry.location.lng();
                    var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
                    var bounds = results[0].geometry.bounds;

                    geocoder.geocode({'latLng':latlng}, function (results1, status1) {
                        if (status1 == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
                            if (results1[1]) {
                                response($.map(results1, function (loc) {
                                    return {
                                        label:loc.formatted_address,
                                        lat:lat,
                                        lng:lng,
                                        value:loc.formatted_address,
                                        bounds:loc.geometry.bounds
                                    }
                                }));
                            }
                        }
                    });
                }
            });
        },

and 90% of the time it works smashingly. However, I am now noticing that occasionally the first item that it returns in the pop-down list is not clickable. I have set logs for the variable status and have noticed that occasionally it is ZERO_RESULT or QUERY_LIMIT_REACHED. In both of these instances, the list loads with values, and everything on the list is selectable except for the first one. Any ideas for possible solutions?

It looks like there were instances where bounds was left out by the API, and thus being defined in my code as undefined. This was causing a javascript issue further down the code, and preventing a conditional from being met. It looks like this isn't even needed to frame the map properly, and i have solved my issue...
