I can handle overpass - my grandmother or my mother not :D And a search
is more than find only towns or such things.
When I search for a restaurant - why should it mark the next restaurants
in my visible area.
When I search for the stop-area "Hauptbahnhof Ost" in Magdeburg i want
to see all stop-points (btw. the bus stop and the tram stop are 300m
apart) not first the first platform, then the stop point for this, and
so on.... That ist not intuitive. And the stop-area has also the name
"Hauptbahnhof Ost" ;)Â https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/157080
Otherwise the "search" should renamed by "name search". But I expect
more from a search in a map than just a fraction of the possible search
results.

And when the search on openstreetmap.org (and that is nominatim ;) ) is
not for ordinary consumers, for who the f*** else?
