Hi Cyrus I'm finally revisiting our need for a new gazetteer service to replace the Mapbox one. I have an instance of Gisgraphy running in a Docker container but although I took your 'even easier' approach by modifying a local copy of the mapbox.js geocoder, I can't seem to override Arches using the Mapbox service. Is there something I need to do to make that local copy take effect?
