Description

There should be a way to search for a city, a street address, or a point of interest nearby.

Example of search string that should possible :

  • New York
  • 28 Something Street, Somecity
  • United Kingdom
  • Bar (to show bars nearby)

We could imagine a shortcut such as / (so we'll be typing /seachstring) and then have a drop down menu if there is multiple results.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to integrate a geocoding API like Nominatim to add search functionality for cities, addresses, and POIs. Look into how to trigger a search via a keyboard shortcut (e.g., '/') and display results in a dropdown.
