Locator not recommending address

ChrisGoessl — Tue, 03 Nov 2020 18:36:15 GMT

I have an address point locator that is not recommending an address that is there when the street name is not spelled out.

The address is 3081 Fontano Dr. When the dispatchers typed the address they typed 3081 Fontan, it it recommended 3081 Fountain and not 3081 Fontano. I have moved the spelling sensitivity, Minimum Candidate Score, and Minimum Match Score to 0 and it still will not recommend 3081 Fontano when only Fontan is placed in the line input.

Am I missing something?

You will likely need to create an alternate name table if you continue to use ArcMap.

If ArcGIS Pro is an option, when you build a locator with the Create Locator tool and search for an address in the Locate Pane you would get a list of suggestions as you type that you can then click and the map will zoom to the selected address.
