Address locator doesn't always work when using street types

melisahansen — Mon, 10 Aug 2020 16:28:55 GMT

When trying to search for intersections sometimes its doesn't work when you have the street type in the search, but if you remove it, it does fine what you're looking for, and as you can see below, return the correct street intersection with the correct street types, it just doesn't allow you to actually search with the street types. I have not found any consistency on when this is occurring, like character count, etc. What is causing this?

How did you create your locator: with Create Locator or Create Address Locator? Looks like you are using Pro; what version?

Create Address locator and Pro version 2.5. I am having the same issue in Arc map.

I just tried it on our published service that uses the traditional (create address locator) approach and can't replicate the problem. I can leave off the types altogether or add one or the other or both, and it returns a location just fine. It's actually composite, but that shouldn't matter. Did you create the locator in Pro or Catalog?

I created it in Pro. But I have created locators in Arcmap in catalog, and I have the same issue.

That's odd; but you know that already, right?! I've never had a problem in the past. Is this a new issue for you? Has the reference data changed?

Looping in Shana Britt‌ to see if she has an idea what's going on.

This is new for me, I have yet to have this issue. The data has not changed, the only difference is trying to search for intersections.

Melisa:

It would be helpful to see the data and field mapping of the locator you built with the Create Address Locator tool in Pro. I'm also curious to know if you get the same behavior using the Create Locator tool with the StreetAdress role.

This is how my locator is set up with the create address locator using Dual Range Style. Using the create locator tool doesn't seem to duplicate the issue.

Using the create locator tool doesn't seem to duplicate the issue...

So the problem is with the create address locator tool then?

Seems to be, but not sure why.

I know this is back and forth, and back again, but if you create your address locator in arc catalog, does the problem exist with it as well? I'm just trying to whittle it down to the specific culprit...

Melisa:

For the intersection in question are you able to show what the values of the street components look like in the reference data (prefix direction, street name, street type, suffix direction)?

The issue does exists when creating it in catalog. So far it has only worked with using the create locator tool in pro.

The intersection in question looks like this:

What's interesting is that I can reproduce the behavior in Pro 2.6 with a classic locator built with the Create Address Locator tool, but cannot in ArcMap 10.8.1. A locator in Pro created with the Create Locator tool does not exhibit this behavior. I do get results when I map city when building the locator with the Create Address Locator tool and use city in the search for the intersection when street type is included in the street names for the intersection. Perhaps there is some issue or difference with 'Match with no zone' in Pro versus ArcMap. We'll need to do some additional investigation to understand why this is behaving this way in Pro.

That being said... Melisa, is there a reason you cannot move forward with using the new StreetAddress locator in your workflow versus the classic locator?

Thanks Shana! I did move forward with just the StreetAddress locator.
