OpenGeofiction
I have two questions about Nominatim. Firstly, names of places I mapped in recent days (e.g. Kreserheim, a suburb of Galmosen (http://opengeofiction.net/#map=12/55.9625/46.2926)) do not show up in a search.
Secondly, when I go to the Nominatim page for OGF, the search results that do work are shown on a real world map.

I also realized that the Nominatim takes a lot of time to update, things I mapped this month can’t be searched yet either

It works for the town ‘Galmosen ‘ but not for ‘Kreserheim’.
From time to time such problems may occur. Maybe ask the admins.

Last time Nominatim updated was October 9, almost two weeks ago. It is not the first time the server drops out on updating. It might be hard to fix this in the long term, but it’s annoying nevertheless.
What is annoying and should be not that hard to fix is the real world map on the page. The interface is great (for some things much better than the default search function on the OGF home) but now it just makes no sense since Paroy is in the middle of Africa.

I’m the one who’s providing the Nominatim-Server so the Admins aren’t the ones to bother with this problem :P
The update process is supposed to run in the Background, that’s why i didn’t see that problem so far. According to the logs this problem is caused by an error with a specific cache. I’ll try to solve the problem tomorrow, just got home and need some sleep.
When i’m done with problem solving i’ll change the HTML to include the default OGF-Tiles.
Kind Regards
