HOW TO
Instructions provided describe how to prevent the abbreviation for 'SAINT' (ST) from being standardized to 'SAINT' when geocoding without having to modify the reference data used to create the address locator or the addresses in the input address table.
The street name in the address '125 ST ANDREWS AVE' is standardized to 'SAINT ANDREWS' by default. If the reference data used to build the address locator does not spell out the word 'SAINT', addresses on this street will not be matched.
Code:
;ST ST
Code:
SAINT ST A
Note:
Rebuild the geocoding index using the Rebuild Geocoding Index tool in ArcToolbox > Geocoding Tools (9.0, 9.1) or rebuild the address locator using the Rebuild Address Locator tool in ArcToolbox > Geocoding Tools (9.2 9.3, 9.3.1) after making these changes if an address locator already exists.
