It would help to know a few more details. What kind of searches go wrong,
do you have example queries? Do they work on nominatim.osm.org. Have you
tried to leave out parts of your query (for example, the state or even
the city)? Furthermore, do simple country searches work (e.g. just
searching for France or United States)?
