Can you provide more information about what you have done, what you would expect to happen and what actually does happen?

Looking at your question tags, if I search for Wesley Ballycorus it finds this way you edited recently. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/80194328

In my experience items show on the map but then take a day or so more to appear in a search.

To search the location, just write the relevant keywords on the openstreetmap.org search bar. If you cannot find it through search, then you can add it by creating an account on openstreetmap and edit using id.

Hi mouwatin, Audioman has a account as you could have seen. But why should he use one specific editor there are more options is not it ? Follow Ed's link and you knew its there already.
