• Address information can be returned from only certain countries or regions within the MapPoint.AP, MapPoint.BR, MapPoint.EU, and MapPoint.NA data sources.

• Assigning a range or start index that is greater than 100 with this method does not cause any errors in your applications. However, this method does not return any valid addresses when such range or start index is assigned.

• If no results are found, the returned FindResults.NumberFound property value is 0.
