If I try to type a street name or a specific keyword contained within the address (free text), it doesn't provide any suggestions or results.</P><P>My setup:</P><UL><LI><P>Role: Point Address / Street Address.</P></LI><LI><P>Mapping: All fields (House Number, Street Name, City, etc.) are correctly mapped.</P></LI><LI><P>Behavior: It feels like the locator is strictly expecting a numeric prefix rather than allowing a flexible string search.</P></LI></UL><P>I want to be able to type any word from the address and get a list of suggestions containing that word. Is there a specific setting in the "Create Locator" tool or a property in the locator files that I need to enable to allow partial free-text searching and better suggestions?</P><P>Thanks for your help!</P> Tue, 10 Feb 2026 10:01:40 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/address-locator-only-searching-by-house-number-not/m-p/1683310#M101776 GDS 2026-02-10T10:01:40Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/address-locator-only-searching-by-house-number-not/m-p/1683318#M101778 <P>I solved it out.. with the swiss adresse, we have to use the POI role and not the Point Adress.</P> Tue, 10 Feb 2026 10:55:40 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/address-locator-only-searching-by-house-number-not/m-p/1683318#M101778 GDS 2026-02-10T10:55:40Z
