Why does CoMaps seem to not understand addresses? (lemmy.zip)

There is a frustrating issue with the CoMaps work flow. If I copy an address from Google maps into the CoMaps search bar, the application cannot find it.

For example, if I copy the address listed for the Portland Art Museum into CoMaps search:

1219 SW Park Ave, Portland, OR 97205

The search result varies. Sometimes it is:

Southwest 18th Avenue, 1219

Sometimes it is for the entire road:

Southwest Park Avenue

Is there a syntax issue here? You would think this would be a very easy find.

As I was repeating the above example, every once in a while it would find the museum correctly. It is just very inconsistent. It misinterprets what it thinks I am looking for.

You would think that a well formatted address copied from Google maps would be a slam dunk.
