Looking for feedback on the search function

Good suggestion. We'll add it to the wish list and see when we can do it. Thanks

We are looking into it to understand the nature of the problem

I actually really like the search feature over say TomTom because you can just type the number and street name and it generally finds fairly quickly a few possibilities around you, but sometimes it just doesnt get it even when the street is on the map:

ex: today i wanted to go to 149 Lake Ave, Trumbull, CT, when i searched just "149 Lake Ave" and it found 2 adress with the right number and street but not on the right town ( off by like 20 miles), i tried writing the adress with "trumbull, ct" at the end and found a single address on yet another town farther away, so i used my other GPS and well "Lake Ave" was showing on the waze map just where it was supposed to be, same happened to " # Fairview rd, easton, ct".

If it was a map problem or a road missing I would have fixed them on the map editor, but on both instances the road was there, the search just wouldn't find it.

- Kami :: still think waze is the best gps though keep up the good work guys

Perhaps it could allow pasting into the "new address" form? I have no idea why it doesn't. I tried searching for "pizza" in google maps, and then selecting a pizza place and copying its address, and then I tried pasting it into the "new address" search field.

It wouldn't allow pasting. I really don't know why, but it wouldn't.

That'd be nice, because right now the only way to get turn by turn is to have the address memorized or on a piece of paper in front of you, or saved to favorites.
