Hi I was searching for a place and had one letter wrong. My search string was "willi brandt frankfurt" and it showed up no results, because the place is called "Willy-Brandt-Platz". A search with "willy brandt frankfurt" would have displayed the result. Would it be possible to implement a search function that is more tolerant to typographical errors ? Keep up the good work !

This is not a question.
Please submit bug reports and feature requests in the locations documented here https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim/FAQ#How_should_I_report_problems.3F
@Bob_Becks: which website are you talking of? Simon's advice would only apply to http://www.openstreetmap.org (which uses Nominatim).
Ok, I opened a ticket on https://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/5039 I hope this was the right way to report. Thanks!
