P: Map Search is not returning a result

Of course. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. 

Exact same issue.  Grinds my work flow significantly.

@henningmet, "That even work with me when I put the coordinates into the search field, without a dummy photo."

Excellent -- directly pasting the decimal-degree format Google uses, e.g. 

39.095341, -120.038324

is indeed more convenient than using a dummy photo. Note that pasting the clunky degrees-minutes-seconds formatting that the LR Metadata panel uses (and no one else in real life uses):

39°5'42.8754" N 120°2'16.9574" W

doesn't work.

"Let me make this clear. It is still ridiculously cumbersome."

So I think you agree with my description that it is "very inconvenient".

"Copy the coordinates and in LR, select a dummy photo, and paste the coordinates into the GPS field of the Metadata > Location panel. Go to the Map module and double click the photo in the filmstrip, and the map will move to that location."

Tanks John! Yes that is inconvenient, but for me much faster thank dragging the map around. That even work with me when I put the coordinates into the search field, without a dummy photo.

@Rikk Flohr: Photographyhas logged this issue with the developers, so I think we have to hope that they will come up with a fix for this fairly quickly. As it's a showstopper issue affecting a quite significant component of the software -- it makes the entire Map module largely unusable -- I would expect them to assign it a high priority.

I don't know if this affects every Lightroom user, but the sheer number of people reporting this makes me think it's an across-the-board bug rather than one affecting just some unlucky subset of the userbase. To be honest, I'm surprised that it passed internal smoke-testing before release. We know that this release included a fix for a somewhat similar but less catastrophic bug in the Map module, and the obvious assumption is that this bug is related to that. I would have expected that the fact that changes were being made to the Map module would have led Adobe's QA team to test that part of the application even more thoroughly before release. For whatever reason, however, it looks as if they didn't identify this particular bug during their tests.

However, they've been able to reproduce the issue internally, large numbers of users have confirmed that they've seen it across multiple environments, and it affects a significant piece of functionality in an unambiguous way. These are pretty good prerequisites for getting developer attention, so I'm optimistic that the team are working hard on it and will roll out a bugfix as soon as they can.

No thanks. That is unreasonably unweildy.  It's actually simpler for me to just drag the map in Lr to the location required. Let me make this clear. It is still ridiculously cumbersome.  
Has Adobe give us any idea as to when they will fix this?

@tonya20624874, as you might have seen at the top of the merged thread, Adobe has acknowledged this bug that was introduced in LR 13.3.

An inconvenient workaround: Search for the location in Google Maps in a browser. Click on the map, and the GPS coordinates will show at the bottom:

Copy the coordinates and paste them into the Map module's search box.

Lr Classic subscription...up to date. V 25.9 updated six days ago. (about when this problem started).
I don't get any error reports. When I input the address. Nothing happens. Nothing at all.  
What I can do is physically drag the map to the proper location and tag that way.  But as I stated earlier. This is slow and combersome.  

This doesn't make sense. I have this issue.  But I never close Lr while in map, or any mode other than library.  I tried restarting Lr. Surprise, it worked. Once.   I moved to my next set of image. Maps once again didnt' work. I did not close Lr. I just  moved to the next set of images.  Restarted again. No response.  
Maps is officially dead. How do we fix this?
