This search for Station Road, Cambridge, UK:
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?format=json&q=station+road,+cambridge,uk&viewbox=52.1,0.13,52.2,0.15&bounded=0
yields, many results that easily fit within the given viewbox.
However changing the bounded value to 1 yields no results.
Why is that?
The documentation for viewbox at:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim
needs to clarify that the viewbox defines the bounding box for the
search, if that is indeed true.
