Hi,

Maps.me is a Smartphone App based on Openstreetmap. If I search the for the german word 'Schutzhütte' all safety-houses in the area appear. If I do this inside openstreetmap.com I can't find any houses. They're on the map, but I can't search for them. I can't even search for shelter.

What to do? Is this my fault? Do I have to change the way I searched?

Thanks for helping!

Hi

First of all, if you go to openstreetmap.com, it will and should redirect you to openstreetmap.org

I just searched "Schutzhütte" in openstreetmap.org and it returned a lot of results. Here is my search link:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Schutzh%C3%BCtte#map=19/50.23466/6.86365

Are you sure you are on the right page? Can you give a screenshot of the page and where you are searching ?

Some background information about why this works: "Schutzhütte" is contained in the German list of special phrases and is translated to the tag amenity=shelter.

It seems like Nominatim is only returning results where the name is mis-tagged for the renderer as "Schutzhütte". I can't see any where it could be using the special phrase.

the first one from this query http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php?q=Schutzh%C3%BCtte+in+forchheim&polygon_geojson=1&viewbox= does not have a name tag containing "Schutzhütte" I think.

You're right, using one of the special phrases like "Schutzhütte in" or "Schutzhütte im" seems to work, but if you search only for "Schutzhütte", the results are objects with that as the name.
