Get Search Address Structured - Exact Match

Question

I am trying to perform a structured search to retrieve addresses (place, zip, county, or state) unsuccessfully. I will use the bellow HTTP request as an example:

https://atlas.microsoft.com/search/address/structured/json?api-version=1.0&language=en-US&subscription-key=****************&countrySecondarySubdivision=Orange County&countrySubdivision=CA&countryCode=US&entityType=countrySecondarySubdivision&limit=1

I expect to get an exact match with the correct address and "entityType": "countrySecondarySubdivision" but instead receive an incorrect address with "entityType": "Municipality":
After expanding the search limit to 5 the expected result is returned together with 4 undesired results.

Is the search criteria not sufficient for a specific result?
Is there a structured search that will deliver the expected result?
Maybe there is a minimum result limit that will guarantee the correct address (and entityType) for all searches?
or is there a workaround/another solution to this problem?

Hello @Imberman, Ben ,

That does not look like an exact address so can you explain your expectation? For example 123 Main street, town/city, County, Country, Zip would be an address but just county is not an exact address.

I recommend you try addresses at our feedback site https://feedback.azuremaps.com/ to see how a full address is structured.
