Organic Maps and OSMand not accepting addresses (lemmy.ca)

Both apps locate me just fine, and in the maps I can see my address written on my house. I can tap it, and I see my full address.

When I search my address, both apps say it doesn't exist. I've tried typing in some other addresses from around my city and have the same issue. I've tried "Address, Street" and "Street, Address," searches.

What am I doing wrong?

I'm not 100% sure, because I didn't use both in a while. But I think there was some weird "functionality" where you have to move the map somewhere near the adress you want to go to before it'll find it when you type it into the search bar.

Why that is? I don't know at all.
