It never checked any external databases, it just uses house numbers
from Tiger where they are missing in OSM. That means that the address
down to street level still needs to be in OSM or the search fails.

Nothing about that has changed in the last two years or so (although
there was a Tiger data outage last weekend but we have been back to normal
since Monday)

Any partucular address you cannot find anymore?
