Bug

Locators which do not allow intersections to be geocoded do accept connectors, but they are removed once the locator properties are closed.

Additional Information

This issue is not reproducible with the latest version of the software.

Workaround

The following workflow can be used to enable geocoding intersections with locators that are otherwise incompatible. After this, alterations to the connector properties persist.1. Via Windows Explorer, navigate to and find the .loc.xml file. Open this in a text editor (preferably Notepad++ as it reads XML much better than Notepad).2. Change the following three lines of code to match what is below:(a) 20650: <alt selector="supportsIntersections" ref="FullIntersection"/>(b) 24580: <prop name="supportsIntersections">true</prop>(c) 24892: <prop name="supportsIntersections">true</prop>3. Open the locator properties via Catalog and add a connector (such as 'and').The streets must be un-dissolved; by definition, they need to be broken at every line intersection. The locator detects intersections based on the end points of lines falling on top of each other. If two lines intersect but there are no end vertices at that location, the locator does not know that they actually intersect.
