## Search
Nominatim indexes named (or numbered) features with the OSM data set and a subset of other unnamed features (pubs, hotels, churches, etc)
Search terms are processed first left to right and then right to left if that fails.
Both searches will work: [pilkington avenue, birmingham](//nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=pilkington+avenue,birmingham), [birmingham, pilkington avenue](//nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=birmingham,+pilkington+avenue)
(Commas are optional, but improve performance by reducing the complexity of the search.)
Where house numbers have been defined for an area they should be used: [135 pilkington avenue, birmingham](//nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=135+pilkington+avenue,+birmingham)
### Special Keywords
Various keywords are translated into searches for specific osm tags (e.g. Pub => amenity=pub). A current list of [special phrases](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim/Special_Phrases) processed is available.
### Parameters
```
https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?<params>
https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search/<query>?<params>
```
* `format=[html|xml|json|jsonv2|geojson|geocodejson]`
* Output format
* defaults to `html`
* `json_callback=<string>`
* Wrap json output in a callback function (JSONP) i.e. `<string>(<json>)`
* `accept-language=<browser language string>`
* Preferred language order for showing search results, overrides the value specified in the "Accept-Language" HTTP header.
* Either uses standard rfc2616 accept-language string or a simple comma separated list of language codes.
* `q=<query>`
* Query string to search for.
* Alternatively can be entered as:
* `street=<housenumber> <streetname>`
* `city=<city>`
* `county=<county>`
* `state=<state>`
* `country=<country>`
* `postalcode=<postalcode>`
**(experimental)** Alternative query string format for structured requests.
Structured requests are faster and require fewer server resources. **Do not combine with `q=<query>` parameter**.
* `countrycodes=<countrycode>[,<countrycode>][,<countrycode>]...`
* Limit search results to a specific country (or a list of countries).
* `<countrycode>` should be the ISO 3166-1alpha2 code, e.g. `gb` for the United Kingdom, `de` for Germany, etc.
* `viewbox=<x1>,<y1>,<x2>,<y2>`
* The preferred area to find search results. Any two corner points of the box are accepted in any order as long as they span a real box.
* `bounded=[0|1]`
* defaults to 0
* Restrict the results to only items contained with the viewbox (see above).
* Restricting the results to the bounding box also enables searching by amenity only.
* For example a search query of just `"[pub]"` would normally be rejected but with `bounded=1` will result in a list of items matching within the bounding box.
* `polygon=[0|1]`
* defaults to 0
* Output polygon outlines for items found **(deprecated, use one of the polygon_* parameters instead)**
* `addressdetails=[0|1]`
* defaults to 0
* Include a breakdown of the address into elements
* `email=<valid email address>`
* If you are making large numbers of request please include a valid email address or alternatively include your email address as part of the User-Agent string.
* This information will be kept confidential and only used to contact you in the event of a problem, see [Usage Policy](https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/nominatim/) for more details.
* `exclude_place_ids=<place_id,[place_id],[place_id]`
* If you do not want certain openstreetmap objects to appear in the search result, give a comma separated list of the place_id's you want to skip. This can be used to broaden search results. For example, if a previous query only returned a few results, then including those here would cause the search to return other, less accurate, matches (if possible)
* `limit=<integer>`
* defaults to 10
* Limit the number of returned results.
* `dedupe=[0|1]`
* defaults to 1
* Sometimes you have several objects in OSM identifying the same place or object in reality. The simplest case is a street being split in many different OSM ways due to different characteristics.
* Nominatim will attempt to detect such duplicates and only return one match; this is controlled by the dedupe parameter which defaults to 1. Since the limit is, for reasons of efficiency, enforced before and not after de-duplicating, it is possible that de-duplicating leaves you with less results than requested.
* `debug=[0|1]`
* defaults to 0
* Output assorted developer debug information. Data on internals of nominatim "Search Loop" logic, and SQL queries. The output is (rough) HTML format. This overrides the specified machine readable format.
* `polygon_geojson=1`
* Output geometry of results in geojson format.
* `polygon_kml=1`
* Output geometry of results in kml format.
* `polygon_svg=1`
* Output geometry of results in svg format.
* `polygon_text=1`
* Output geometry of results as a WKT.
* `polygon_threshold=0.0`
* defaults to 0.0
* Simplify the output geometry before returning. The parameter is the
tolerance in degrees with which the geometry may differ from the original
geometry. Topology is preserved in the result.
* `extratags=1`
* Include additional information in the result if available, e.g. wikipedia link, opening hours.
* `namedetails=1`
* Include a list of alternative names in the results.
* These may include language variants, references, operator and brand.
