No, I had no difficulty finding the business when doing a poi search.  I 
encounter the problem when doing an address lookup with "space s".
I believe the problem may be that the street field is demanding letters, but 
this particular street is a numbered state highway.

  Are you talking about doing a POI search?

  Try doing an advanced poi search BACKSPACE with F CONTROL with F, then select
  street as the field of interest.
