Hi all guys, i've looked into nominatim sources and found some that i think that is bug. I've mentioned one in forums but looks like there is no devs here so i'm posing here:
1) http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=11987 In Ukraine it's common situation to have housenumbers like 43/2 and so on - in order to make them searcheable we should update search.php: $sHouseNumberRegex = '\\\\m'.str_replace(' ','[-, ]',$aSearch['sHouseNumber']).'\\\\M'; to $sHouseNumberRegex = '\\\\m'.str_replace(' ','[-, */* ]',$aSearch['sHouseNumber']).'\\\\M'; 2) I found that in one case http://localhost/~seth/reverse?format=xml&lat=49.989675&lon=36.206152&zoom=18&addressdetails=1 nominatim returns street that is far away of specified place. Looking into sources i found that in if ($iMaxRank >= 26) { // Street level search is done using placex table $sSQL = 'select place_id from placex'; $sSQL .= ' WHERE ST_DWithin('.$sPointSQL.', geometry, '.$fSearchDiam.')'; $sSQL .= ' and rank_search >= 26 and rank_search <= '.$iMaxRank; $sSQL .= ' and (ST_GeometryType(geometry) not in (\'ST_Polygon\',\'ST_MultiPolygon\') '; $sSQL .= ' OR ST_DWithin('.$sPointSQL.', ST_Centroid(geometry), '.$fSearchDiam.'))'; $sSQL .= ' and rank_address != 0 and type != \'houses\''; if ($bNamedOnly) $sSQL .= ' and (name is not null or housenumber is not null)'; $sSQL .= ' ORDER BY rank_search desc, ST_distance('.$sPointSQL.', *geometry*) ASC limit 1'; should be replaced for $sSQL .= ' ORDER BY rank_search desc, ST_distance('.$sPointSQL.', * ST_Centroid(geometry)*) ASC limit 1'; after it - reverse script returns nearby subway station. Hope you will add this fixes to all benefit from better search. Illia
