[OSM-talk] Zoom to search results on the map

When you search on something in the searchbox on openstreetmap.org that 
returns multiple results, the map moves to the first result and when you 
hover over the result it displays a marker.
But for all the other results, you need to click to see where it is. 
This removes the search results and displays details of the object you 
clicked.  Suppose this is not what you're looking for, you now have to 
enter the search parameters again and nominatim now searches from the 
last point the map was centred at. So the search results differ from the 
first try. Now you have to remember what results you've looked at so you 
don't look at them again.

Is there no way to show the second, third, etc, result on the map 
without removing the search results?

Regards,
Maarten
