it seems you only get results if there are OSM objects close to the<br>
coordinates you search for. Maybe nominatim could add the coordinate pair<br>
as first result regardless of other results?<br>
<br>
It also seems optimizable that you search with very low precision like<br>
41.8° N, 12.5° E<br>
and the only result you get is a living street:<br>
https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php?q=41.8%C2%B0+N%2C+12.5%C2%B0+E&polygon_geojson=1&exclude_place_ids=105327361&accept-language=en-US%2Cen%3Bq%3D0.8%2Cde%3Bq%3D0.5%2Cit%3Bq%3D0.3<br>
<br>
Doing more tests, there appears to be a bug in Nominatim, I never find<br>
"more results" than 1 if I search for coordinates. And there's an issue<br>
with priority and scope (precision of coordinates relating to importance of<br>
objects), I tried to "find" Rome by adding the place coordinates, but only<br>
got results of relatively minor pois:<br>
<br>
Here's Rome in OSM:<br>
