Yes, it works. Well, it is missing the location but it at least understands the format. What is it doing differently from the OSM site?

- maxerickson 8y agoIt's different software. openstreetmap.org uses Nominatim: https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim The photon link uses Photon: https://github.com/komoot/photon https://github.com/komoot/photon Nominatim processes OSM data, associating items of interest with features like town boundaries that enclose the item, or place markers that are nearby, and then is also a fairly pedantic search interface for that data. Photon takes the data that Nominatim generates and sticks a more flexible search on top of it. Checking for/creating an issue for Nominatim describing the address format that doesn't work well would be a useful thing to do, as global support is a goal there.
