Hi!
The name finder at http://www.frankieandshadow.com/osm/ is doing a *much
better* job to find stuff than what we currently have a the
http://www.openstreetmap.org/index.html
For example: When I enter Schuckertplatz at OSM I simply get nothing
useful, but the name finder just points me to the place I was looking for.
I would think having a good engine to find things is an *essential* part
of an online map and make the OSM map much more useful - so IMHO this is
really important.
Is there any chance to replace the current "finding engine"?
Regards, ULFL
P.S: My "server stuff" knowledge is pretty limited, so I can only beg to
persons being able to make it happen :-)
