In Arcmap, there currently isn't an easy way to search for a street intersection via an Address Locator. I assume the same limitation exists in ArcGIS Pro.

Could that functionality be added?

I know we could create a point FC with the street intersection as a text field. And search it using the Features tab in the Find tool. But that's not as flexible as it needs to be. The Locations tab/address locator has more flexible logic that makes searching easy. It would be great if we could use that for searching for street intersections too.

Thanks.

If you build a locator with Create Locator in PRO and utilize the Street Address Role (basically a locator based on road centerlines), you can search for intersections and blocks.

More specifics about the Street Address Role

There are links inside that documentation that will lead you to lots of detailed information about how to build locators with Create Locator in PRO.

@ScottFedak2085  Ok. Thanks. I wasn't aware of that functionality.

This Idea is no longer needed. ESRI, feel free to delete it. I don't think I can do that on my end.
