P: Map Search is not returning a result

I'm using Lightroom Classic on an M3 Macbook Pro running OS X 14.5. Since upgrading to Lightroom 13.3, searching in the Map module seems to have stopped working. When I enter a search location and hit Enter, the message "Searching" pops up for a moment, then disappears. The map remains unchanged; it does not move or place a marker at the searched-for location.

 

I am able to apply GPS coordinates successfully from Saved Locations. I'm able to use Google Maps in a browser without problems (so I know that my network connection to Google Maps isn't getting blocked). I have tried the "Switch to Library, then quit Lightroom, then re-open Lightroom" procedure that was a fix for some Map problems in earlier versions, but that doesn't resolve the issue. Multiple restarts of Lightroom have not resolved the problem.

 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Open Lightroom

2. Switch to the Map module.

3. Type in a findable location in the search field.

4. Hit Enter

 

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

Map should shift to display the requested location and indicate its position with a marker.

 

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR

The message "Searching" appears for a moment, then disappears. The map remains unchanged.

"The bug I first time mentioned on the V13 release, but it is continued on V13.3."

 

Do you have a link to that post? It would be good to merge it here. I can't find it:

As it happened hundreds of times before, I want to add GPS coordinates to my pictures. But the search dialog is not working. After entering, e.g., city name, I see for a very short time a "searching" message on the bottom of the map, and nothing happens.

In contrast, when clicking a map symbol on a picture with GPS coordinates, the MAP module shows the correct location. 

 

The bug I first time mentioned on the V13 release, but it is continued on V13.3.

 

MacOS 14.5, M1 Max.

 

Any ideas?

Regards, Tomek
