I just joined and downloaded OsmAnd Beta 1.2.1 onto my Android phone. I can search by map location, POI, and lat/lon, but not a street address. I enter Region, City and Street name, and it takes them just fine. However, when I attempt to enter anything for Building, such as an address, nothing happens. If I want one of the choices that pops up for Building that works, but if I want something else, an address I know for a fact to be a valid address, nothing happens. Examples: I tried to locate the Doubletree hotel at 92 Southampton Row, London. When I go through the POI process it finds it fine. But entering the address doesn't. Same thing when I search for an address in the US. So what am I doing wrong?

What software have you just installed "beta 1.2.1" of?
The mentioned address is present in OSM and has been there for over a year so it must either be a software issue or the software has very old data.
Actually, the addr:street tag value is mis-spelt (Southhampton for Southampton), so this might be the cause of the problem in that particular case.
The OP is likely referring to OsmAnd. Text changed to reflect that.
More examples please. It may be that the housenumber data simply is not existent in the OSM data in the areas in question.
It seems that the mentioned hotel is this one:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/311877308
addr-data seems to be fine in OSM raw data ... so it is more an issue of Osman's mapcreator process.
Come on over to https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/osmand
where we can go deeper in detail.
As I said above, addr-data is NOT fine in OSM.
I've now corrected addr:street for three addresses in Southampton Row. The question implies an issue that is wider than just that street so we need some more examples.
