You should have phrased your question better...
--index is only about address search. POI search is independent of
address search.
I'm not sure if there is an index for POI as well - but what you could
do is use 0x00000 codes that are not searchable. Actually most 0x* codes
are not appearing in the POI search. So try around until you achieve
what you want.
But note - on some units the POI might pop up in the Others category -
while being unsearchable on other Garmin units...
However -yes deactivating/activating a map only concerns map display.
Neither address search or POI search can be switched off on the GPS unit.

Czesc Andrzej,
thanks for your hints. Unfortunately, it did not work.
Next, I downloaded a fresh extract from Geofabrik and created a fresh
map without an index. I verified that the maps which come with the
device do not have POIs (well, there are some: all of them are
military or civil airports, but that's it). After copying the map into
the device, all the POIs were present.
That means, the device reads the POIs from the tiles (?) or somewhere
else from the map when no index is present.
I tried to add an empty index by creating osmmap.mdx and
osmmap_mdr.img files from a small JOSM download, and then created the
gmapsupp with the "normal" tiles and that index - that did not work.
An Oregon does not have an option to select the map for search (even
not enabled maps are used!), despite its rather high price it seems
not to be a "better" device...
Other ideas?
Kind regards,
Bernhard

Hi Bernhard,
On PC index is a file with name *_mdr.img, you can remove this file
form registry (probably together with *.mdx).
In a gmapsupp.img index is a subfile with name *.mdr. You can split
img to subfiles, delete *.mdr and then merge subfiles back.
Better Garmin devices have option to select map for search, maybe
Oregon too? Is there any "menu" button at POI search windows?
