Michael: The General - Single Field style is designed to be used to search for unique names or string values such as census tracts, parcel id numbers, place names, meter numbers to name a few. The type of search that is performed is an exact look up of what is in the reference data for the mapped Single Key field. General - Single Field style The General - Gazetteer style uses search logic that will take into account spelling instead of an exact search, so if the reference data has "Carmel by the sea" in Californi as the city or place name, you could search for 'Carmel' California and get a match or candidates returned, whereas the Single Field locator would be expecting an exact input of "Carmel by the sea". The Gazetteer style can be used to search for the same unique features that you would use the Single Field locator, but it handles suggestions better than Single Field. General - Gazetteer style Have you tried the Gazetteer style yet with suggestions in your application/workflow? Are you using the Single Field style to search for addresses? It's not recommended style to use for searching for addresses if your reference data is point or polygon geometry. The US Address - Single House style is the style that should be used when you have point or polygon (parcels, tax lots) geometry that you want to use as the reference data for the locator. -Shana ...

I wrote this technical article regarding the 'Match with no zones' geocoding option in the locator properties, which applies to ArcMap & ArcGIS Server/Enterprise 10.1+ and all versions of ArcGIS Pro. https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000011688 I had answered the same question in detail on the old community forums, but it is no longer accessible from what I can tell. I"ll need to poke around to see if they are backed up somewhere or not. https://community.esri.com/message/147473?commentID=147473#comment-147473  ... View more

Brian: Are you able to share a screenshot of the table you used as input in the Geocode Addresses tool or the address locator? If the table contains the 'Shape' field it should be removed from the table. The street address (380 new york street) should also be in a single field and city, state, zip in their own respective fields or the full address (380 new york st, redlands, ca) in a single field in the table.  -Shana ...

We have not seen the memory leak with the Gazetteer style locator and it is the recommended style to workaround the bug with the Single Field style. Let me know how the Gazetteer style works out for you. Whatever field was used to map to the Keyfield in the Single Field style, map it to the Place Name field in the Gazetteer style. ... View more

Michael can you access BUG-000104922: The geocode service published to ArcGIS GIS Server w.. ? I was suggesting the Gazetteer style based on the limited information I had, but remembered that there was a suggestion memory leak and some other issues for the Single Field style based locator when published as a service. ...

Here are a few bullets from the link in my previous response Excel file support in ArcGIS uses Geospatial Data Abstraction Library and its supporting OGR Vector Formats. For tables that have all text column data types or have null values in the first row, column headers will be autogenerated (for example, Field1, Field2) when the table is opened.  I don't believe the same behavior occurs in Python because it's using a different driver to handle the Excel files. ...

Michael what style did you use to create the address locator you published as a geocode service? If it was single field I would suggest using the General - Gazetteer style. Check out BUG-000104922 on the support site. ... View more

Deepa: I don't have access to the book, but what workflow are you using to geocode the table? 1) right-click the table in the table of contents 2) using the Geocode Addresses geoprocessing tool What is the format of the table you are geocoding? (txt, csv, excel, dbf...) What is the output data format of the geocode result? (shp, in a file geodatabase) Make sure the fields in the table don't have spaces or special characters in the name or start with a number. The same applies to the geocode result. ... View more

The Excel spreadsheets *.xlsx work pretty well in ArcMap because you have the ability to use the Microsoft Office driver with ArcMap. However, ArcGIS Pro does not use the Microsoft Driver, it's using an open source driver that has limitations. Since ArcGIS Pro is a 64-bit application you would need the 64-bit driver to be able to use personal geodatabases and if you were trying to use ArcMap (32-bit) and Pro on the same machine, you can't have a mix of drivers.

The Esri World Geocoding Service has the ability to return rooftop matches if the input address matches to PointAddress for Addr_type if you use the locationType parameter for the geocodeAddresses operation.

Jared: The order of the coordinates you are referencing can make a difference in how they are interpreted. It looks like the coordinates are returned as latitude (y), longitude ( x) vs longitude ( x), latitude (y). If you entered -119.76 as longitude and 36.73 as latitude you would get the location returned in California if you are using the Go To XY tool in ArcMap. -Shana ... View more

If you are going to be searching for street names and street addresses, you may want to consider creating a locator based on the  US Address - Street Name style, then adding it to a composite locator as the first locator along with the Single House locator. Publish the composite locator as a geocode service. The suggestion behavior you encountered is a known issue that we are working to address. More details can be found in the final response in the following thread, https://community.esri.com/thread/181310#comment-716581 . -Shana ... View more
