Only if the address values are at all edited. If they are
not the address will be re-used. If it is not that's a bug.

That is not really true either. Even without any value in
the Search field one can just enter the relevant details
below it and create a new address from it without ever
exercising the Search phrasewheel. Even then an existing
address of exactly the same details would be re-used.

Technically correct would be:

        Either this address here (if values remain unchanged
        below) OR a new address created from the details below
        is linked to the patient as the home address.

The white lie IMO would be to say "A value here, with
modifications below, will be saved" because IF there ARE
modifications "a value here" will NOT be saved - despite the
details and "a value here" possible matching perfectly
except for that modification.

White lie because it won't matter to the user, I'd have thunk ?
