North/South/East/West street name matches aren't returned

[terminalmage]

When searching 123 Example St., City Name, no results are returned if the street has a North/South or East/West designation. You would, for example, need to search for 123 N. Example St., City Name. If you don't know that the street has such a designation, this can make getting results difficult.

I'm surprised this has gone unfixed for so long. I think fixing this would make a big difference in terms of usability, and doesn't sound to me like it would be that hard. If the search has no results, just try again with each of the 8 cardinal directions appended to the start of the street name.

try again with each of the 8 cardinal directions appended to the start of the street name.

And end; here in Ontario at least cardinal directions come after the rest of the name (e.g., King Street South, Front Street East, etc.). More generally though, it seems like if the query is a substring of a potential match, especially a space-delimited substring, it should return it?
