No worries, after some rethinking I'm with you now :-) >> - make the search a dockable widget (so free to use it in whatever toolbar) > > Given the above, I'm a -1 here.

But maybe first wait for my first geocoder implementation. I'm planning either to bring Nominatim or our national geocoder in it (in Python first)... >> Some features I would be happy with then: ... >> - make the number of results a setting (now a hardcoded 30) > > Configurable to users? Or plugins devs? I think api would be fine, it could be one of the settings of a given locator. Take the largest number from all locators? > Please don't read this email in the wrong way - i don't want it to > come across aggressive.

I'm a 'meritocrat', given all your work (and thinking and communicating) you have a lot of credits to disagree ;-) Regards, Richard _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
