If searching by street name and suffix, include as much of the street name as you need, then a space and then the suffix without a period punctuation after the suffix. All street name searches are starts with what you enter as the street name. For example: Main St will bring you results where the street name starts with Main and is a street. If the street name that you are searching for is only 1 letter, you will need to enter it, then a space, and then add the abbreviated street suffix without a period punctuation after the suffix to get an exact match (For example: K St).

To search without exact parameters use the following shortcuts:

  • *name - Searches ends with what you type
  • *name* - Searches contains what you typed

Adding an ! in front of any of the options above will exclude that name from your search. You can use a comma, and any of the * shortcuts above, to search for more than one street name in the same street name field. This is helpful for when you have more street names that the amount of fields available for the search.
