Thanks for the catch, it had not made sense to me that an address would have 
been required by design. Mine was a phenotypic, not genotypic, report :-)

On a different, pending question of the address entry workflow, are you 'cold' 
or 'warming' to replacing the label

        Search

with

        like

because in the case of all the other labels

        Postal code
        Street

these label the *content* that is to be inputted whereas the existing label

        Search

is an instructional verb as to what is to be done (or achieved). In other 
software, such a thing would be implemented as ghost text *inside* the field 
such as

        <Input here text to search for>

(which guidance GNUmed achieves instead as contextual tooltips) whereas

        like

would better fit with the context of address creation inputs, where the user 
optionally inputs

        like    ---> the string being inputted
