Note that Locus does have Google and Bing search. OTOH, if you do not have bought LoMaps with extra generated search database, MapsForge mapformat and provided MF code libraries do not ( for now ) offer offline searching.
My opinion is, the difference betwen Locus and OSMAnd maps is minimal. Much more significant are differences in used vector map rendering styles. Locus has several very interesting custom styles. See http://www.openandromaps.org/en/legend/elevate-mountain-hike-theme or here http://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?board=40.0 ( I think one has to be registered and logged in to see and download attachment files ) Well, in some point of view the Locus maps are even better. E.g. OpenAndroMaps do not need extra plugin nor extra data to display the contour lines. Additionally, Locus has several modes of the hill shading, as well without need of the extra file.
