Search results inconsistent with punctuation

Open Flohhhhh opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

This seems to be a combination of issues, for one some places are labeled without punctuation. Another issue is that the search understands punctuation like apostrophes as characters.

I'm not sure what can be done to resolve this, but here's an example.

That is omni present issue in OpenStreetMap data.. inconsistency. The tools/apis around it try to fix it somehow, but its neverending story i guess.

If you want to fix this one, please fill an issue at our Search API service: photon.komoot.io - i think it could be fixed by ignoring the apostrophes in user input and also in the OSM dtb. But maybe it has sideeffects. :)

This appears to be working better than before, not sure why.
