Hey ALL,
i created a custom locator in ArcGIS 10.3 based on the General.lot.xml. In this XML File I added serveral AliasNames for Cities, States, etc. I published this service as a geocoding service with Suggestions enabled.
Well, I can actually find everything with the right name from the attributtable. For example for New York, if I type in "Ne" it will automatically find New York. But I cant find the AliasName "NY". This is only possible by using the "FindAdressCanditates" instead of Suggest.
So I tried almost erverything. Even in the Esri White Paper, inculding the tutorial it is not working.

Solved! Go to Solution.
The question was solved. After contacting Esri, they told me the "Enable suggestion" does not work with Alias Names. So I solved it in a different way. Edit the *.LOT.XML and paste follwing sheme:
<alias_def>
<alt>Wohnheim Akademische Burse</alt>
<alt>Wohn</alt>
<alt>Wohnh</alt>
<alt>Wohnhe</alt>
<alt>Wohnhei</alt>
<alt>Wohnheim</alt>
<alt>Wohnheim </alt>
<alt>Wohnheim A</alt>
<alt>Wohnheim Ak</alt>
<alt>Wohnheim Aka</alt>
<alt>Wohnheim Akad</alt>
<alt>Wohnheim Akade</alt>
<alt>Wohnheim Akadem</alt>
<alt>Wohnheim Akademi</alt>
<alt>Wohnheim Akademis</alt>
<alt>Wohnheim Akademisc</alt>
<alt>Wohnheim Akademisch</alt>
<alt>Wohnheim Akademische</alt>
<alt>Wohnheim Akademische </alt>
<alt>Wohnheim Akademische B</alt>
<alt>Wohnheim Akademische Bu</alt>
<alt>Wohnheim Akademische Bur</alt>
<alt>Wohnheim Akademische Burs</alt>
<alt>Studentenwerk</alt>
<alt>Stud</alt>
<alt>Stude</alt>
<alt>Studen</alt>
<alt>Student</alt>
<alt>Studente</alt>
<alt>Studenten</alt>
You can handle this with python.
