Hi,

I have added few address points(2 weeks ago) in osm.org.

But still, can't receive data in nominatim geocode API.

Refer below nodes detail: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6311187515 https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6308639224

Data not received in nominatim: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?format=json&q=Vikrant Palace, Solapur https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?format=json&q=Cowrks, Aerocity, New Delhi

Adding the city or any other address parts into the name isn't necessary. 'Vikrant Palace' and 'Cowrks' is enough. Nominatim can't handle names containing commas. That's a limitation unlikely to be fixed anytime soon.

When adding new places it would be great if you add tags what they represent. 'Cowkrs' could be amenity=coworking_space https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dcoworking_space The palace could be a https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity=place%20of%20worship?uselang=en-US or https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:historic or maybe both are hotels or tourist attractions.
