mkgmap:street is only used for house number matching while compiling the 
maps.

Address search is a different thing. AFAIK address search on the Garmin 
units searches for all labels assigned to the roads. So if the name tag 
is assigned to the first label and the other labels are not set you can 
only search for "Sandwall (cycleway)".

Once again it's up to you to assign the other labels so that they are 
also used by address search:
mkgmap:street=* { addlabel "${mkgmap:street}" }
addr:street=* { addlabel "${addr:street}" }
...
