<p dir="auto">I think <a class="user-mention notranslate" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/users/mtmail/hovercard" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/mtmail">@mtmail</a> has the correct diagnosis - this is the backtrace I get:</p>
<pre class="notranslate"><code class="notranslate">NoMethodError - undefined method `split' for nil:NilClass:
  app/controllers/geocoder_controller.rb:94:in `search_osm_nominatim'
  app/controllers/application_controller.rb:295:in `better_errors_allow_inline'
  config/initializers/compressed_requests.rb:27:in `call'
  config/initializers/cors.rb:9:in `call'

</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">In which case I think that this is a Nominatim side bug and there's not a huge amount we can do on our side as the exception is in a library.</p>
<p dir="auto">What did you mean by "incorrect error" exactly <a class="user-mention notranslate" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/users/pnorman/hovercard" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/pnorman">@pnorman</a>?</p>
