This is not so much a bug as it is an omission in two parts. Firstly I don't do much with addr:street tags except add the information to the node for display purposes. This leads on to the fact that I don't do any search on addr:tags in the web interface. What I _plan_ to add it that if you search for '42c Mulberry Road' then it will indeed return a result as you'd expect but there's no way to do anything useful if you search for just 'Mulberry Road'. This is because since the house is not in a relation there's no way to group together disparate houses with "addr:street=Mulberry Road" into separate streets. Perhaps I could return all _houses_ which match the street but I don't see that it's very useful and very noisy. This is why I've been trying to map all my streets with associatedStreet relations since it makes it explicit. I'm open to suggestions though. -- Matt Williams http://milliams.com _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
