Since it relies on Openstreetmaps if an address isn't added it can't find it. You'll likely always be able to find the street, but you may need to add the specific number yourself. Then once it's entered it's available for everyone.

I use it frequently and the search is flawed. I literally introduced the name of a bank letter by letter and it would not show any of the 10 bank agencies of that bank that were nearby. Instead of the bank it showed me a water deposit kilometers away. If I partially deleted words, it would show me all the bank instances in the whole country ranked by distance (the correct output).

I do not agree about the UX, it is good.
