Invalid Address-Search returns latest first Result #34

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
If I search for "Bahnhofstrasse 55 Zürich" (a non-existing address) and
press <enter>, the map zooms to "Bahnhofstrasse 55 Fehraltorf", as that is
the first result of the last valid String "Bahnhofstrasse 55 ".

Best solution: Show me the Bahnhofstrasse in Zürich with a dialog that
points out, why the result is imprecise.

Second best solution: Show a dialog that the address was not found.

I have to analye that. It shouldn't zoom if the address is not found.

I tried to reproduce the "artefact" - but I cannot. I entered other addresses 
that do
not exist in the search field and hit the enter button - but no action from OA -
which seems to me correct.

You're right, with the new unified searchbox, *nothing* happens, if you enter an
unknown address. But I would still prefer *some* reaction as mentioned above. I 
think
the user needs to be informed, why there is nothing to show..

I would say that this is the normal behaviour of a combo box with auto 
completion, so I  
propose not to change this normal behaviour
