Dave: I'd have to have some examples of addresses that do not work and the locator if possible to be able to answer why somethings work and others do not. If something does not work, is it both with the original locator and with the geocode service created from it? Do you have the locator style that was used to create the existing address locator? The style would be stored in the C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\Locators folder. What are the other fields that are part of the address locator below the postal codes? -Shana ...

Dave: From the looks of the screen shots it looks like you are using ArcGIS Desktop 10.0 or earlier. Please post a screen shot of the dialog after clicking the Advanced button at the bottom left of the Locator Properties dialog as well as the information on the left pane below the Left Post Code. This should give an indication of the version of the address locator and help determine if the locator was customized. The address locator styles that are shipped with the product are for USA address formats only. What version of ArcGIS Server was the locator published to as a geocode service? Is the service that is returning an error publicly accessible? If so, can you provide the link? -Shana ... View more

ArcGIS For Desktop 10.3 includes a new Single House Subaddress style that you can use and map the unit info in field A to the SubAddrUnit component when you build the address locator. http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/latest/guide-books/geocoding/commonly-used-address-locator-styles.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_7FC7CD744FDA4D379399C92D109FA67Ahttp://desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/latest/guide-books/geocoding/commonly-used-address-locator-styles.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_7FC7CD744FDA4D379399C92D109FA67A The subaddresses for multi-unit occupancy can be stored in 2 sets of elements – Building type/Building Unit (optional), and SubAddrType/SubAddrUnit.  These components can be used for any 2 sets of subaddress components if users prefer, for example, Level 4 Unit 21, or Terrance C Door 6. It is common that only SubAddrType/SubAddrUnit is used to support simple unit information such as Apartment 101 or Unit A.

Brian: You could use the steps outlined in the following technical article to add the domain codes to the CityAliases section of the locator grammar. You would add the city name and the alternates would be the domain values, so the input address could be the city name or the domain code. 45322 - Add city aliases to the address locator style ...

Locators built with suggestions should be stored in a file folder rather than in a file or enterprise geodatabase, primarily for performance reasons. The error message 001741 shown in the second screen shot is the result of storing the locator with suggestions enabled in a geodatabase. By storing the locator in a file folder you will also be able to make use of the 'number of threads' performance setting. In the next release of ArcGIS Desktop and in the current release of ArcGIS Pro locators stored in a geodatabase is not supported. The best way to share the locator would be to publish the locator stored in the file folder as a geocode services to ArcGIS Server and use the service by making a GIS Server connection to it in ArcMap/ArcCatalog. Other options are to make the geocode service available in your portal if you have Portal for ArcGIS. ... View more

Kevin: In the following statement, " If I search for "256 N Coast Highway 101", I get the proper results. It's breaking out "Coast Highway 101" correctly as the 'StreetName'." do you mean that this is the result when using the SingleHouse locator or with the Subaddress locator? Do you have a screen shot of where you are seeing the standardization when using both locators? -Shana ... View more
