Windows 10: Offline searching on Windows 10 Maps is broken

https://youtube.com/watch?v=A2oVcKiu7-A

It's been like this since it's release. I have left feedback on the feedback hub years ago concerning this and nothing has changed. I don't see why they would do away with Here Maps when their own inhouse map app doesn't even have complete functionality. Maybe they should have done away with it AFTER they had gotten feature parity with Here Maps.

I plead with anyone reading this to give this a shot and report the results below. Who knows, maybe I'm just unlucky.
