Nominatim weird result order

1

Hi,

I'm launching a nominatim search for "mairie annecy" to find the town hall of the city of Annecy but the result shown on the answer to the query are from smaller nearby cities that are part of the city of Annecy.

I would like to understand why the result for the town hall of Annecy appears only at the 11th position even though it is the best result.

It's better to ask questions about Nominatim results on https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim/issues Please add a screenshot or link to exact result you think is the most relevant ("11th position" might be a different one, e.g. when the browser language is different).
