I tweaked the code (added some REVERSEs).

SELECT Address_pk, [Address],

STUFF(a.[Address], ss.search_idx, LEN(ss.search_val), ss.PostalServiceStandardSuffixAbbreviation) AS AddressAbbreviated

FROM [Address] a

OUTER APPLY (

SELECT TOP 1 *, LEN(a.[Address]) - LEN(txt.search_val) - NULLIF(CHARINDEX(REVERSE(txt.search_val), REVERSE(a.[Address])), 0)...

This works with the sample data and doesn't produce the second record for Court Place.

SELECT Address_pk, [Address],

STUFF(a.[Address], ss.search_idx, LEN(ss.search_val), ss.PostalServiceStandardSuffixAbbreviation)

FROM [Address] a

OUTER APPLY (

SELECT TOP 1 *, CHARINDEX(txt.search_val, a.[Address])...

I think this will work without any CTEs. We use Crystal Reports, so I didn't have a ReportServer database available to check things like the collation and data types...

The purpose of the windowed functions is to easily combine detail data with summary data, but you only want the summary data. Just use a simple GROUP BY instead...
