Live Search - looking up street addresses

My point is that I'm not seeing a problem searching for an address. Searches seem successful and changes the location to that address. From there I can get a map or directions or gas prices, etc. Perhaps I missed the point of the thread. It seems to "find" addresses OK.

OK, that works, most of the time. It seems odd to me you have to put the city / state in there twice, once on the search box and another time in the location. I was expecting to put in street number / name in the search box and city / state in the location.....

Also, in the search box, putting the zip instead of the city / state doesn't work. And you have to put rd / ln / st or it doesn't seem to find the address.

I guess it is just a difference between Google and Live Search. Google is much more free with formats and seems a lot more intuitive to work with. But glad Live Search is working.....

I can find a business by name or type near my current location just fine, but I can't get Live Search to recognize an address.

This pisses me off to no end. I hit change location, meaning I would like to change my location and live search proceeds to search for location near location that is currently entered. Half of the time it says it can't find any results. Seems like it shouldn't be that hard...
