What is the correct street address format.  After looking through other posts, as an example I’ve tried using:
address, 718 Pine St, Sweet Springs MO
and 
address, 718 Pine St, Sweet Springs MO”
and
718 Pine St, Sweet Springs MO
and
“718 Pine St, Sweet Springs MO”
None of those formats bring up anything. What am I missing?

AvareX requires address as !address!
Like !New York!

I am not having luck using !address!.  This is used under the "Find" tab, correct?

Thank you,
David Farleman

I hope its temporary.

Got it.  I tried periodically using !address! over the past week with no luck. 

Thank you,

FYSA - I revisited this and tried it again this morning.  Still no luck with the !Address! function.  

If I'm reading the posts correctly, OpenStreetMap is the culprit?

Requirements
  • No heavy uses (an absolute maximum of 1 request per second).
  • Provide a valid HTTP Referer or User-Agent identifying the application (stock User-Agents as set by http libraries will not do).
  • Clearly display attribution as suitable for your medium.
  • Data is provided under the ODbL license which requires to share alike (although small extractions are likely to be covered by fair usage / fair dealing).
Unacceptable Use

The following uses are strictly forbidden and will get you banned:

  • Auto-complete search This is not yet supported by Nominatim and you must not implement such a service on the client side using the API.
  • Systematic queries This includes reverse queries in a grid, searching for complete lists of postcodes, towns etc. and downloading all POIs in an area. If you need complete sets of data, get it from the OSM planet or an extract.
  • Scraping of details The details page is there for debugging only and may not be downloaded automatically.

!address! started working for me, I believe, last week and is still working on Android and Windows as of this morning.
