Author: lonvia If two places have the same name, Nominatim normally uses Wikipedia to figure out which place is more important. You can help it out by explicitly adding a wikipedia tag to boundary relations. In the case of Caen, it wrongly assigned the Wikipedia page of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caen Caen] to the arrondissement instead of the city, which is why it prioritized the county. I've just [http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/15414468 added a wikipedia tag] to the city relation and now the order of streets appears as expected. |

If I search "[http://www.openstreetmap.org/?query=rue+Eug%C3%A8ne+boudin,+Caen rue Eugne Boudin, Caen]", first and second results are streets with the same name in other cities that Caen. The good result appears in third position.
In fact, first, second and third results designate 3 cities (admin_level=8) in the same "french county" (admin_level=7), and the good city and the county have the same name : "Caen", but not the same admin_level (8 or 7), but Nominatim cares.
Nominatim should prioritize by the city name before the county name.
