For many #OpenStreetMap users on mobile (#OsmAnd, #OrganicMaps, #MagicEarth, apps that supports geo links), the built-in search feature is less than desirable. It works, *kinda*, but many wish it could be better.
If you're one of them users, you might want to check out #Acastus Photon, an #Android app that uses a #Photon server, an alternative geocoder for #OSM data.
Think of it as a companion app for leveling up the UX of your favorite #OSM front-end.
Somebody in my inbox asked why a different feature came up in the search results, for the example shown in the photo.
At the time, I did the search, the place node was still missing from #OpenStreetMap. However, thanks to the #OSMaPaaralan project, the information has been made part of the address tags of a nearby school.
That's why the school got a hit (even if it didn't share a name with the feature), because the information is part of its address tag.
