<p dir="auto">searching by coordinates is a common use case. currently when hovering on a link in the list of matches, it displays a temporary marker on the map. additionally, clicking on a match causes the map to be centered at the marker (panning without zooming).</p>
<p dir="auto">however, the marker is removed as soon as the mouse cursor moves and link hovering is off. unfortunately, this behaviour obfuscates zooming in on a match, requiring the user to go back and forth the map and list of results, hovering over the link to display the temporary marker again.</p>
<p dir="auto">show a permanent marker when clicking on a result of searching by coordinates would make zooming in more intuitive; it could be removed when search results are closed. please note this feature request is <em>not</em> about changing the zoom level automatically.</p>
