I use OSM and Organic Maps, but I have difficulty searching by address or business. I end up using my computer, finding the location, matching it to the map in the app, and favoriting it. Am I doing this the dumb way? Is there an alternative FOSS navigation app which has this functionality?

Usually just Apple Maps but be careful when going to places outside of cities as it will choose weird paths through dirt roads that might not even be accessible by car, when there is a perfectly fine road parallel to it.
