Single field address search

Post by filipp »

Hello.
We would like to implement an autocomplete option for an address.
The requirement is that when entering the street address, a list of possible suggestions should be visible.
I have checked the findSuggestions and findAddressByText methods, they both need a city or postal code comma separated in the first place and after that a street address.

For example, when using findAddressByText, "Hamburg, Weg beim Jäger 218" search string gives a correct suggestion.

But when entering "Weg beim Jäger 218" as a search string, Hamburg is not in the list of suggestions.

Are there any options that can force resolving the street address without a city ?

Kind regards,
Filipp

Hello Filipp,

the current design of the geocoder requires at least a postcode or city name as input to identify the administrative region in step #1.
After the area has been determined we can apply the detailed search for the street name.

Being able to search on street tables without the high level input is on our roadmap for future versions of the core engines.

But for now we can't resolve the issue - sorry for that.

Best regards Bernd
