suggest api does not look up address number

hoogw — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 17:07:51 GMT

if just search number, 5731, without any letter, it failed.

It should list all the address start with 5731.

if search 5731 with at least 1 letter, suggest api works fine.

This locator is simples use addres layer as POINT ADDRESS role

Does the number need to be wrapped in quotes to indicate that it's a string? I assume that's what adding a letter does.

I don't know what you means, sorry can not accept as solution.

why not use your own test data, add quotes to prove your idea? use your mouth just saying without evidence, I can not accept as solution.

house number is already text field, this evidence prove that your idea above is invalid.

Without add quote, house number is already text, your suggestion is wrong way.

It isn't clear from your post which locator you are using or how that is configured, so check your installation. If I run a similar query against the ArcGIS World Geocoding service it seems to work fine:

https://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer/suggest?f=json&text=5731&maxSuggestions=10

I get 10 results.
