   You can enter an exact street address with a city and state, an exact street address with just the zip code, or a street with a city, state, and zip. Without an exact match, FH Mobile Response finds the closest matches it can with the information.

   Search and Close (Enter)	Close the Address dialog box after searching for the address.

   The Address tab is renamed with the address you entered, the Parameters button at the top of the tab displays the text you entered in the dialog box, and a list of possible matches appears in the list in the tab. Each possible location includes a score that reflects the degree of accuracy for the match. If you started the search from the Incident → Summary sub-tab, each possible location also lists a red star labeled Use.

   The map you selected displays location icons and a push-pin at the best match to the address parameters you listed. Not all of the icons for the possible locations may be visible in the selected map.

   Example: If you had selected the Map tab, and then specified a street name (with no house or building number), in a specific city, state, and zip code, a number of green location icons for possible matches appear in the map you had selected, and corresponding locations appear in the tab and on the map.
