Have you tried searching on the mobile app, and then sending the destination to the vehicle? Sensus navigation database depends on whatever is in the storage drive of the Sensus unit (hence the occasional map updates), while I believe the mobile app has access to a more up-to-date and comprehensive database as any mainstream mobile navigation systems do.
 
I discovered a couple of things. If I search for Scott without Street or Avenue, at least I get some choices. If I search for the city of Paris, still no luck. But, if I go to Destinations and enter the City as Paris, I do get the correct choice. Very odd, this thing. Not as intuitive as my Garmin.
The business model for a hardwired / built in Nav system (like Sensus) is probably less profitable than the GPS-specialized systems (like Garmin), and in turn less than something ubiquitous and app-based like google maps. Given that, I tend to use the Volvo app to do the search (as well as send address based on my calendar that the Volvo app sees) to the Sensus rather than search directly on the Sensus menu; as I previously mentioned.
