An address is often written in a number of different ways, and right now if it is not entered exactly, no search results are displayed. This includes:

  • Abbreviations: for example Blvd vs boulevard, St vs street, etc
  • Optional address line: in the US, apartment number or suite numbers are either at the end of the first line or second line if on second line it is separated by a comma.
  • Zip+4: In the US, for a more precise zip code location, an additional for digits are added to the zip code, separated by the a dash.
  • Hyphenated city names: cities may have two words in the name, separated by a hyphen, and if only the first word is searched, it will not display in the results, or if full name is search and only the first is in the dataset, the results will not show up.
  • Incorrect spelling of common words or names are not matched by search.

Adding wider matching, even if all results are not as good, would improve finding necessary locations.
