With the function findAddressByText you have no chance to bring the second result at the first position. There are many reasons but the main reason is the algorithm can not finde the input postal code (NN60BN) therefore it has no input on the score calculation and you can not sort by it. Why don't y...

I think that a customer should not concern himself so much with the geocoding search parameters. If a customer doesn't get the expected result she/he can't know if it is a data or a xLocate search algorithm problem. I would prefer that she/he is connecting the support so PTV can clarify what can be ...

Engine.CitySearchTimeout: Overall time in Milliseconds the search is allowed to run before it is aborted. The value -1 indicates that the time is not limited. Engine.StreetSearchTimeout: Milliseconds the search is allowed to run before the street search starts. If this part of the search takes long...

Now I know why the housenumber isn't found in the 3rd. case. The housenumber "109 Lambeth Road" is assigned to the city Lambeth. If the input is "109 Lambeth Road, SE1 7, London, GB" the xLocate is finding the street directory with the postalcode and the city input. So both are c...

The last result looks strange, I would also expect that the xLocate will find the HNo 109. If you like to know in detail, we have to anlyse that behavior.

Hi Mister X

Are you using extended postalcodes for UK? Or have you set the parameter ReturnAllHNr? Which Map are you using?

There is a SearchParameter COUNTRY_CODETYPE the default value is =3 (country code plate). So you can set this parameter to value =1 (ISO2) or =6 (Unknown). If Unknown is set, then all formats are considered as possible input formats and CountryCodePlate is used as the output format.

It's absolutly right what Mr. X has written. And additionally str is abbreviation of straße so this explains why Hauptstr and Hauptstraße will be found but not Haupts, Hauptst, Hauptstra or Hauptstraß.

Hi Daniel The xLocate identifies Valencia as a state ;) The first input word in the Address field is tried as a country or state. There are two possibilities to get Valencia de Don Juan: 1. Write the country before Valencia "E Valencia de Don Juan" 2. Switch off the parameter Region.CheckS...

Hi Jason Good to hear that the xLocate is working "fairly well", thanks :) I recommand to use the postal code, this can help to find the correct address especially if the street name exists multiple times within a city. No special format is needed for the input string. You can set the post...
