Hello all,
I have some troubles with the address search on photon when house
numbers are not stored in the OSM data.
One example, I am trying to find "Neuengörs, Mühlenstraße 1" in Germany.
Lets first try it with the street without house number:
https://photon.komoot.de/api/?q=Neueng%C3%B6rs,M%C3%BChlenstra%C3%9Fe
-> It gives the correct result in the first of entry of the returned data.
If I then add a (valid) house number:
https://photon.komoot.de/api/?q=Neueng%C3%B6rs,M%C3%BChlenstra%C3%9Fe 1
-> the result becomes inaccurate.
I get 14 potential locations spreaded over germany, a lot of the
returned results are obviously implausible (at least for humans),
somewhere in the results (near the end of the list) the correct location
is hidden.
What am I doing wrong ? How can I find the correct result in the
returned data ?
Btw: Nominatim shows the correct location:
https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/search.html?q=Neuengörs,Mühlenstraße
1
Best regards
Thimo
