Do i need internet for address search?

DMD2 includes both place searching using the online Google Places API and place search using the offline map database!

The place search dialog include the following options:

If you are just looking for the closest POI of a specific category, then just tap on the icon for that category, the offline category listing will display a list of the closest places matching that category. Notice that you can scroll the categories and there is one for Town/City/Village too.

If you are searching for a specific POI name then use the Offline search, it should find what you are looking for.

If you are searching for a full address, with street name, number and postal code, then you need to be online and use the Online Search – this uses the full power of Google Places (the best place API) and can find based on address or name.
