Re: Live Search - looking up street addresses
Yeah, the only reason I'm using this instead of Google Maps, is for some reason, Google Maps puts the address in the wrong spot! When I search on local.live.com it is correct, so I'm hoping Live Search (if it can actually find the address) will be correct also.....

Re: Live Search - looking up street addresses
Do you NEVER have success looking up addresses? Or is it hit and miss? I don't recall having trouble but I just tried two random addresses and both were found.
I'm using the format "123 anystreet road, cityname, st". Live search version is 4.5.3129.0. |

Re: Live Search - looking up street addresses
I have the same problem. I try to enter an address in the search window or through the Change Location option and it comes back with "We couldn't find any results for (new location) near (current location)." 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.

Re: Live Search - looking up street addresses
Well, I am glad I wasn't overlooking the obvious. It is hard to believe there isn't any easy way to do such a simple task.

Re: Live Search - looking up street addresses
One more time: what format are you using for the address?
I just typed "1060 w. addison street, chicago, il" and my Live Search found it just fine. What am I doing differently then you? For bonus points, whose address is that? |

Re: Live Search - looking up street addresses
When I search for that, it just returns me to the main screen and changes the location to "1060 w. addison street, chicago, il". It never shows it on a map. I am using the same version you listed in your post above.

Gearhead, who said he had the "same problem", quoted the search failing with "We couldn't any results...". 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. |
