Osmand has a very bad search function - or very good, it returns exactly what you look for and nothing else.
Sometimes you have to look it up somewhere else, add it to osm and be happy that the person after you can find it.
I haven't really used it myself yet but this tool might help with that: https://f-droid.org/packages/page.ooooo.geoshare/
