The page [[Abbreviations]] says that editors should enter the full name of any object. Indeed, for a newly built street the full name "Kerstingatan" (in Linköping, Sweden) has been entered, and searching for that name works fine. And searching for the abbreviation "Kersting." also finds it. Is this some magic in the search engine? However, searching for another common abbreviation "Kerstingat." gives no hit. So is there a list of abbreviations (g. = gatan) where we could add gat. = gatan? Further, adding an "s" in the middle would be a common misspelling (Kerstinsgatan) and could we make the search engine find the right street anyway? --[[User:LA2|LA2]] ([[User talk:LA2|talk]]) 12:10, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping|LA2}} Search engine used at osm.org is [[Nominatim]] and yes, it has some limited "magic". Its issue tracker may already have relevant issue there or maybe it would be worth reporting [[User:Mateusz Konieczny|Mateusz Konieczny]] ([[User talk:Mateusz Konieczny|talk]]) 12:48, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
::Does openstreetmap.org produce statistics on searches that people make? Can we find out how many search Stokholm vs Stockholm, Linköpingvägen vs Linköpingsvägen, Elmhult vs Älmhult vs Almhult? --[[User:LA2|LA2]] ([[User talk:LA2|talk]]) 19:27, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
