Given the query: http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php?q=2531+Woodruff+Road%2C+simpsonville+sc&viewbox=-82.99%2C35.28%2C-81.34%2C34.34

Searching for the address 2531 Woodruff Road, Simpsonville SC USA . No results are returned. I would have expected one or all of the POIs tagged with 2531 Woodruff Road to be returned.

If the city and state is removed, multiple occurrences of "Woodruff Road" are returned and 2531 Woodruff Rd is returned but are very far down the list as low priority: http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php?q=2531+Woodruff+Road&viewbox=-82.38%2C34.89%2C-82.03%2C34.65

Everything in the office building 2531 Woodruff Road has the same building address but a different "suite address", for example 110, 111, etc - tagged as addr:unit.

Questions - Is Nominatim restricting the results due to duplicate top level addresses?

What is the proper way to tag multiple addresses that differ by only addr:unit?

addr:unit is completely ignored by Nominatim.

I suspect the road cannot be found because Nominatim puts it into a different town but it's hard to say without knowing which OSM way or node you are expecting to be found.

One example node I would expect to be found is https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3140255868 , which has addr:city specified. All the POIs with the same main address are inside the building at https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/305065377 , visible in the map view at https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/34.80805/-82.23319
