<p>It would be nice to have some shades of grey in there, like a choice of radius, e.g. within 1km, 10km, 100km, 1000km</p>

That option would be passed to nominatim or any other search engine.<br /><br /> Personally, I would prefer the search bounded by default, but users could change it to "everywhere" to see additional results.<br /><br /><span style="white-space: nowrap;">Regards,</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: nowrap;">J.
