dropping place:village,hamlet,suburb in city search
Any suggested hexcode to use for place:village,hamlet,suburb in city search that will make it searcheable as a POI but not in the current city search? The idea is to declutter the city search of these minor places and just the actual city/town will be used to index streets and cities. -- cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------

I haven't yet had a thorough look at the code here, but from what I've seen, I get the impression that the POI hex codes in the style file have no effect on address search. I think the OSM pace tagging may be directly used for indexing. I could be wrong though. :-) Cheers.

There would be a disadvantage: I assume the assignment of streets to cities works by searching the nearest place-node. This works better if taking the village und suburbs into account because the density is higher. I'm a littlebit amused that nobody seems to fully understand the location-autofill algorithm. ;-) Sould look into the source code but java isn't my mother language... Chris

Well, I've been casually going through it, but I don't have much time. There are some interesting things there, including special handling for Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, as these countries seem to have good geonames coverage. Or something. :-) Cheers.

I think it's better to spend this time to find a way to get these informations from the border-polygon and not waste time to analyse suboptimal code. Henning
