    4.6 km north
  • East Main St
    City, State, Country
    5.1 km north
  • East Main St
    City, State, Country
    7.7 km north
  • East Main St
    City, State, Country
    11 km north

One of these is the correct address; the others are somewhere else (one might be 1123 East Main St for instance) but from this screen there's no way to tell which is the actual address I put in. If I know where the address is, I can guess from the distances; but if I know where the address is, then there's no point looking it up in a map app anyway.
Can you check if 1123 East Main St is at OSM? I suspect that it looks for full address, doesn't find it, drops a level up in hierarchy and finds the street. Streets, especially longer ones, are frequently split into sections and you see the hits from each of the sections, as far as I can tell.
