Here's how to reproduce the problem.

1. Download Finland - LoMaps. Issue confirmed with version 2019.08.05.

2. Open address search. Choose offline search.

3. Country: Finland

4. City: Oulu

5. Enter "Teknologiantie".

6. No results. Corresponding google maps link:
https://www.google.fi/maps/place/Teknologiantie,+90570+Oulu/@65.0598537,25.4509063,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x46802d08d7f0e7f7:0x39d708d0e330de9!8m2!3d65.0598537!4d25.4531003

The map incorrectly displays some addresses in Oulu as if the city was "Linnanmaa". Linnanmaa is an area in Oulu - but it's not a city. Some addresses are correctly displayed as in Oulu, for example "Elektroniikkatie, Oulu" is correct.
Attached some screenshots to illustrate the issue.

Also: you cannot search for a city "Linnanmaa" because it does not exist in the map. (Even if it did - several cities would have areas called "Linnanmaa")

@keitsi Have you check it on https://www.openstreetmap.org
the master data the LoMaps+their indexes are based on ?

As the fix should be done there if wrong as well.

If OSM is OK then it is the Lomaps issue.

I've used OSM, never had an issue like this.
This is the address I get when clicking from openstreetmap web UI:
16, Teknologiantie, Teknologiakylä, Linnanmaa, Oulu, Oulun seutukunta, Pohjois-Pohjanmaa, Pohjois-Suomen aluehallintovirasto, Pohjois-Suomi, Manner-Suomi, 90590, Suomi

I think it's a problem with the LoMaps data import - maybe they are using the wrong field for city? Or something.
It would be cool to include all those areas, though. "Teknologiakylä", "Linnanmaa", they are all correct, but the city is still Oulu.
