Hello I know there where some discussions about this topic before. I'm using the locator branch r1892. While the splitting-process the boundaries are broken and so some streets could not be found. I tried to fix this problem by opening the single tiles in JOSM, complete the boundaries, process the tiles again with the splitter and create the map. A very annoying job, but now I can find streets, which I could not found before. So two questions: Are you planning to fix this problem in the splitter (maybe as an option). And my second question: Will be the locator-option fully integrated into mkgmap permanently or not. Actually it's the only way to make street-searchable maps for Germany (with the normal version you only can find the streets in the suburb of a city).

First of all yes, the Legend is essentially a Vista without a barometer. So they are very similar.
I applied your patch and regenerated the map of Italy. Search failed as before. I then started over with a tiny extract of central Turin. For this, search worked. I started increasing the download size and found the spot where search breaks (still using your patch).
First, here are an OSM extract of Turin, the output of mkgmap for it and the gmapsupp.img that MapSource produces:
http://dev2.openstreetmap.ie/~plush/torino_good.osm.bz2 http://dev2.openstreetmap.ie/~plush/torino_good.tar.bz2 http://dev2.openstreetmap.ie/~plush/gmapsupp_good.img.bz2
Second, here is the same data for a slightly larger area. With this, search on my Vista is broken:
http://dev2.openstreetmap.ie/~plush/torino_bad.osm.bz2 http://dev2.openstreetmap.ie/~plush/torino_bad.tar.bz2 http://dev2.openstreetmap.ie/~plush/gmapsupp_bad.img.bz2
If you load the good gmapsupp.img onto your Legend, the initial list of streets in your Legend's search window should read:
Corso Adriatico Corso Alcide de Gasperi Corso Bolzano Corso Brescia Corso Cairoli
With the bad gmapsupp.img, the list I get is:
Sp6 Corso Orbassano Corso Adriatico Corso Alcide de Gasperi Corso Bolzano Corso Bramante
The road that is breaking alphabetical order here is tagged as name="Corso Orbassano", ref="SP6" - which seems valid. It does appear to make it into the index twice, though as "Sp6 Corso Orbassano" up in the list and then again as "Corso Orbassano (Sp6)".
Let me know if there is any further data you might need.
