[OSM-talk] photon

[Dave F.]

Hi

Just had a brief play with it. I may be being a bit dim, but 'geocoder' 
doesn't really explain that it's a utility to search the map's database. 
Maybe a brief, simple explanation for newbies?

Does it search within relations?

On the http://photon.komoot.de site:
In the 'Try me' box:
   Pasting a name fails to search for anything
   I'm unable to highlight/select just part of what I've typed to delete 
it.

When it does find an entity the text in the the marker's popup bubble is 
too faint.

Cheers
Dave F.
