Gregory's ServerDid you know that you can search for any type/category on the map, not just for those categories listed in the Search dialog? The list of all search terms and their synonyms is here: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/blob/master/data/categories.txt

@vkc Did you try the last release/map data update? It has many addresses missing in OSM, taken from the TIGER database. No magic, house number + street (in any order) + town/city should work. The zip/postal code should work if it's present in OSM (rare case) or for the US and UK (taken from TIGER and Ordinance Survey data).  @organicmaps I was "somewhat" aware of that since I noticed that searching for categories worked, but is there any plan to provide UI indicating that this feature is available? It would be nice to be able to discover new categories. @sgued Yes, that plan is called "better suggestions". Now only hard-coded categories with number prefixes are suggested. It should be automated and tailored to user's needs.

@organicmaps what I want to know is how to search for an address in US postal format. As in "1234 Cheese Ave, Cheddarville, CH 99999". I can never figure out how to search for an address in Organic Maps, so it becomes challenging to use unless I know a nearby named business that shows up.
If there's some magic order those items need to go in, I don't know it yet, and would love help clarifying that.
