Code:

INFO: 08:54:55 Request: /v1/search?limit=25&search=Lanc
INFO: 08:55:38 Parsed query [GB]: house: {lanc}; 
INFO: 08:55:38 Parsed query [GB]: h-0: {lanc}; 
INFO: 08:55:41 Request: /v1/search?limit=25&search=Lancelot+Court,+Hull
INFO: 08:56:19 Parsed query [GB]: city: {hull}; road: {lancelot court}; 
INFO: 08:56:19 Parsed query [GB]: h-0: {hull}; h-1: {lancelot court};

OK, I thought, I can understand partial search queries resulting from the instant search while typing. But what if I enter the address quickly, for example by pasting it or selecting from history? So I tried:

Code:

INFO: 09:04:16 Request: /v1/search?limit=25&search=Lancelot+Court,+Hull
INFO: 09:04:51 Parsed query [GB]: city: {hull}; road: {lancelot court}; 
INFO: 09:04:51 Parsed query [GB]: h-0: {hull}; h-1: {lancelot court};

As you can see, there is always a 30-40 seconds delay between the "Request" line and "Parsed query". That cannot be explained by partial searches.

Here is the query and the location for your entertainment:

Code:

INFO: 09:13:01 Request: /v1/search?limit=25&search=Redwick+Road
INFO: 09:13:02 Request: /v1/mbgl/style?style=osmbright-car-en

INFO: 09:13:35 Parsed query [GB]: h-0: {redwick road};

So I guess something somewhere is trying to be too clever and splits longer numbers into groups of two digits. A423 into A-4-23, A404 into A-4-04. Then something else is being even more clever and shortens 04 into 4.
