USOPTE Address Validation Observations and Questions

Good afternoon,

I am testing the process of updating addresses, basically whether to do it via the UI or by running Address Validation flow in Final Mode.

I updated 3 addresses: 2 via the UI and 1 by the report.

Observations:

1 - Validated address attributes do not mean the address is searchable. For example:

2 - Addresses are searchable, but may appear different:

3 - The address validation report does not always result in addresses verified to the rooftop (GS05) or building premises (GS06). I mistakenly thought that the address validation process would always lead to GS05/06 verification, as long as there were no AE address error issues. (Please see after statuses below).
