 With regard to the following address search:

 44 SE Clarence Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55414

 This finds and displays the correct house.

 HOWEVER, the following search fails to find the house:

 44 Clarence Avenue SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414

 The only difference is the placement of the "SE". The streets in the
 surrounding neighborhood have the "SE" designation placed ''before'' the
 street name for some unknown reason, but invariably actual residents of
 the neighborhood (and the city) place the SE designation ''after'' the
 street name (as is shown on Google Maps).

 In any case, I would expect the search to work correctly either way, as it
 does with Google.
