There are two issues: The first is that Marble generally does not detect when
runners (the search backends) do not deliver any results. Instead of showing an
error/information to the user, the progress indicator keeps going, making the
user believe the search (or route calculation) was still going on when it
isn't. This is a bug that needs to be fixed.

The second issue is that the monav offline maps currently do not include
address data and the monav plugin does not have the ability to search for
addresses. Therefore you cannot search for any addresses in offline mode even
when you have offline maps for that region installed. I plan to work on that
feature (extend offline maps with address data and add support to search this
data) possibly for Marble 1.2.

Note that you can still use the offline maps in the current version: Click
anywhere on the map with the pen (without moving it) and select "Directions
from here" or "Direction to here", respectively. Alternatively, for locations
you frequently use, add a bookmark and use that in the routing dialog by
clicking on the small arrow button next to the input fields. See
