I'm trying to create an address locator from our address points that users can search by street address (house number, street name, and unit) and also search by point of interest (common name, park name, condo complex name, etc.). I'm testing using a subset of addresses with some fake data thrown in to make it easier to test. I'm using the points as the Primary Table, and a table that is an exact copy of those points as the Alias Table. Locating addresses works fine, but it won't recognize any place names that I type in to the search.
I think the problem has to do with:
I'm using House Number and Street Name fields for the Primary Table (blue box in image) but when the locator asks for the address from my Alias Table, it only gives me the option to enter a "Street or Intersection" (red box in image).
The Esri help article says they must match: "Based on the address locator style you choose, the place-name alias table should contain the same set of address input fields used by the address locator. For example, if an address locator specifies Streets, City, State, and ZIP as the input fields for matching, the place-name alias table should have the same set of fields. These fields contain the actual addresses for the alias names."
They do contain the same set of fields (they are the same table format) but I have no option to match them!
