Slow address search by name - many maps #24229
Description
Address search is a mainstream feature OsmAnd is used for.
Today, if a user on the map screen taps the Search button, and then simply enters an address snippet (e.g. a street name), this gets searched for on the "Explore" tab, and can be unbearably slow. On my setup (this probably depends on how many obf maps you have) when I simply type a street name in my current neighborhood, it mostly takes >2 minutes until the correct hit appears at the top of the search hits. (Prior to that, all sorts of very far away non-address hits start populating the hit list.)
This can of course be worked around by searching for the same search string in the "Address" tab of the search screen, where the same operation succeeds in typically ~10 sec.
But many users are not aware they have to take that extra step, and get frustrated with OsmAnd. Also, once you started typing on the default (Explore) tab, you cannot simply change tabs any more or somehow mark that you mean to search for an address. We should clearly improve here somehow.
