Re: Different results when entering postcode or location nam

The reason is the name of a city is a point (City Center POI) tha we are getting from the data provider. The postal code is an area so we have to calculate the point by ourselve.

Re: Is it possible to change search order (B->P->F) to (B->F

No, it isn't possible to change the order of phonetic and fuzzy search. It's only possible to switch off the phonetic or fuzzy search. If you switch off the phonetic search there are request where you are getting a better result but maybe you will also find some requests which are getting worse. If ...

Re: How to use SearchOption STREET_HNRPOSITION

The xLocate should normally treat these automatically. But in cases where you have a typo in the street name e.g. you are searching for Berlin, Strase 3 the xLocate will find a wrong street. In such a cases it could also be helpful to switch off the parameter SEARCH_PHONETIC. Because if the xLocate ...

2) As far as I know there is no possibility to configure the FindSuggestion.
