Additional Information

This issue will not be addressed because the reverseGeocode operation is working as expected based on the default search tolerances defined in the hierarchy table (https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/geocode/api-reference/geocoding-reverse-geocode.htm#GUID-FC97069F-310B-44A8-9DD1-8EC188170831) and the data used to build the locator referenced in the bug. When a single featuretypes value is included, then a search tolerance of 500 meters is used and only the input feature type is searched for. More details about choosing specific reverse geocode outputs can be found here, https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/services-reference/enterprise/reverse-geocode.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_8D8C3482DF394FD183CBCBC1DC360A16. Since the request included more than one feature type, no match results are expected because there were no valid StreetAddress, PointAddress, or StreetInt features within the default search tolerances (StreetInt=10m; PointAddress =50m, StreetAddress(near)=3m; StreetAddress(distant)=100m). When the reverse geocode request includes PointAddress and StreetAddress featureTypes no matches are returned because there are no valid features within 50 or 100 meters of the input location. The street segment FRA26614 intersects the 100m tolerance for a StreetAddress match, but house number range and street name elements are 0 or null. If these attributes were populated then a StreetAddress match would be returned. If featureTypes includes a single value, then a search tolerance of 500 meters is used and only the input feature type is searched for. This is the reason they get results when including only one feature type in their request.
