Bug
When sending SOAP GeocodeAddress requests to the ArcGIS World Geocoding Service, the error message, "Error processing server request" is returned instead of an empty result if the resulting match falls below the MinimumMatchScore of 75. Conversely, an appropriate empty recordSet is returned with no error when using findAddressCandidates.

Additional Information
We apologize that we were unable to address this issue within the current product support cycle. If the issue continues to affect your work in a supported release, please contact Technical Support.Workaround
Use findAddressCandidates. Using the first candidates in the findAddressCandidates result is similar to using the GeocodeAddress API. Although they work similarly, findAddressCandidates returns more than one result and allows for candidates with scores up to 70 instead of 75.
