Chicago (RTA): searching for an address doesn't work

[bcskillings]

I am unable to search for an address while using the fdroid version for Chicago (RTA). This includes adding home/work addresses and directions. GPS does properly recognize my location, so the starting address for directions is filled, but destination cannot be added.

I have the exact same issue issue in Melbourne, Australia. Fdroid version.

This is for data from the NS source. With 9292.nl source selected locations are not suggested and can't be used.

Well lets split this issue into several parts, because each issue is specific to one network:

1. Chicago: For @bcskillings, indeed Chicago(RTA) search also seems broken to me, let's dedicate this issue to this problem
2. Melbourne: For @swonky this is a duplicate of Melbourne Australia  #767.
3. NL with 9292.nl API: For @TheRealRWJ this problem is being discussed in 9292 provider returns no stops in the Netherlands #881 so let's keep there. A temporary fix has been decided, to disable this network temporarily, see Fix, remove and disable several regions #884.

So let's keep this issue open, but keep it specific to the Chicago (RTA) search bug :)

It seems like the RTA's trip planner, used by this app at https://tripplanner.rtachicago.com/ccg3 has long stopped working, and the closest thing (the CTA website) just tells people to use Google Maps.

Is there a different API that could be used to get routes?
