You're welcome to use OpenStreetMap on your own website provided you're giving us credit correctly. Some different ways of deploying your own Slippy Map. For the search features you want, you may want to look at using the Nominatim search service (and in conjunction with a slippy map you may want to look at a library such as Facilmap for a drop-in search interface) However you may find that Nominatim doesn't do the kind of searching you want. "find a store / vendor" might require something a bit more bespoke. If you're only looking at doing a particular city, it's very feasible to extract and index the raw OSM data yourself in some way. |

I will need to do a bit of reading before I can come up with an idea. if this is feasible to use.
