enhancement proposal - nominatim search result - ranked by priority ? #4492

Author: lonvia This is more an issue of bad wording. The first result is the sub-prefecture with the same name as the town. As one is within the other, it doesn't really matter which one is returned first, they both get you to the town. The real problem is that all administrative areas (countries, counties, towns, suburbs, ...) that are as a polygon in OSM are returned as "administrative" which is not really helpful. |

Author: lonvia The wording issue has been fixed a while ago. |

Re : enhancement proposal - nominatim search result - ranked by priority ?
Search for :
Torcy
The first 4 results are administrative polygons...
The town only appears on rank 5.
I suggest to sort the results by priority or relevance, to show an important placename such as a town before an administrative zone.
PS I mean, do you really know many users of geodata in the real world who wants to get an administrative before a town ?
