I tried compiling the Geofabrik extract of Ireland, and could not get the 
address search to function correctly. I used the same options which I use for 
my map of Germany; address search works (more or less) for Germany. I also 
tried the same map of Ireland in MapSource: the address search also did not 
work correctly, so I think you can rule out gmapi-builder, Roadtrip, and Mac OS 
as factors.

Both MapSource and Roadtrip attempted to search for address data, so I believe 
that the index generation worked correctly. In MapSource I could properly 
select streets and cities from the search dialog box, but it still could not 
find anything. Both programs crashed when I attempted to find a city.

I don't know enough about mdr and mdx file formats, so I can't attempt an 
analysis. I assume that there is either missing address information in the 
Ireland map, or that something has gone wrong in the index creation.

Sorry I could not help more.
