Osmand offers address search which works reasonable well for me. What 
one could see as "missing" is that it does not apply address 
interpolations, so that for address interpolations in the map only the 
explicitly tagged nodes at both ends are found. On the other hand I 
personally like this decision at least as one option as it shows where 
additional mapping might be necessary, and looking at the map it's easy 
to "interpolate" by hand in these cases.
If you didn't find the address search: go to the search activity where 
as a default the POI search is selected (icon is an italic i bubble) and 
select the address search (icon is the house) instead.
