No you can't. Put your iPhone in airplane mode and try.

I did just that before posting that comment, to confirm that it works as I understood it (ie searching for "restaurants" rather than just searching for a contact name which has an address).

In airplane mode the search prompt in maps even changes to "Search Offline Maps".

It's not possible to type into the search prompt of Apple Maps when in airplane mode.

It is possible, but it does depend on region though.

I can't search with an offline map in Thailand, but it works fine for an offline map in Australia: https://imgur.com/a/DA803mj
