google maps web finds an address/place, but neither places API nor geocoding API finds it

(a repost of the answer at Google Maps "place" vs "address" )

assuming that the google maps web utilizes the places API, I tried to get the same result from places API.

for this address: 526+Kawailoa+Road,Kailua,Oahu,HI+96734 google maps does find the correct location. but geocoding API fails, so I try the places API:

curl -v 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/json?query=526+Kawailoa+Road,Kailua,Oahu,HI+96734&key=MY_API_KEY'

it returns a empty list. so why does the maps web page finds it but neither places API nor geocoding API finds it?

Thanks Yang

The "Oahu" is confusing the geocoder (and the places API).

If I use "526+Kawailoa+Road,Kailua,HI+96734" with the geocoder, I get a result

If I use that address with the places API, I also get a result
