POI suggestions when associated address entered

[ScottFedak2085]

Is there a way to build a locator with Create Locator to where a POI will also show as a suggestion when the associated address is entered? For my specific need, this would be most useful via the GeocodeServer REST endpoint.

Example : A user types in 123 MAIN ST the following suggestions would show if applicable:

123 MAIN ST, City, Zip

McDonald's, 123 MAIN ST, City, Zip

I'm not seeing this as a functionality with the World Geocoding service, so I'm guessing it is not possible, but wanted to check before I throw it up as an enhancement idea. The attached photos show a search for The Empire State Building and then for it's associated address and it does not show up.

Hi, guys, I am 3 year late in 2025.   here is my solution to fix it.  Just share with your guys to confirm it works perfect.  click here

@ScottFedak2085 Would the Search Within functionality described in the following blog meet your needs? The results are not suggestions, but candidates  like POIs near an address or at the same location like a shopping plaza or business park. Search Within and Uncover More Matches

I didn’t test anything, but based on the description in the link you provided, I’d say no. The new functionality is interesting, but what I’m looking for is a way to have a POI role linked to the address-point role. This would also Ideally happen at the suggestion level, since many users want situational-awareness details immediately, without extra steps after pressing Enter.

Locators and geocoding services currently offer a sub-address summary associated with a base address, and what I originally suggested would follow a similar pattern. For example, if someone enters
1234 N MAIN ST, the suggestions might include:

• 1234 N MAIN ST [100-400]
• McDonald’s, 1234 N MAIN ST
• 1234 N MARKET ST (or other fuzzy-search matches)

This approach would provide both sub-address options and relevant POI information right in the suggestion list.
