<h4>Finding the expected result</h4>
First of all, please make sure that the result that you expect is
available in the OpenStreetMap data.
To find the OpenStreetMap data, do the following:
<ul>
<li>Go to <a href="https://openstreetmap.org">https://openstreetmap.org</a>.</li>
<li>Go to the area of the map where you expect the result
and zoom in until you see the object you are looking for.</li>
<li>Click on the question mark on the right side of the map,
then with the question cursor on the map where your object is located.</li>
<li>Find the object of interest in the list that appears on the left side.</li>
<li>Click on the object and note down the URL that the browser shows.</li>
</ul>
If you cannot find the data you are looking for, there is a good chance
that it has not been entered yet. You should <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/fixthemap">report or fix the problem in OpenStreetMap</a> directly.
<h4>Reporting bad searches</h4>
Problems may be reported at the <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/nominatim/issues">issue tracker on github</a>. Please read through
the open tickets first and check if your problem has not already been
reported.
When reporting a problem, include the following:
<ul>
<li>A full description of the problem, including the exact term you
were searching for.</li>
<li>The result you get.</li>
<li>The OpenStreetMap object you expect to find (see above).</li>
</ul>
For general questions about installing and searching in Nominatim, please
use <a href="https://help.openstreetmap.org/tags/nominatim/">Help OpenStreetMap</a>.
If your problem relates to the address of a particular search result please use the 'details' link
to check how the address was generated before reporting a problem.
</p>
<p>
Use <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/nominatim/issues">Nominatim issues on github</a>
to report problems.
<!-- You can search for existing bug reports
<a href="https://trac.openstreetmap.org/query?status=new&amp;status=assigned&amp;status=reopened&amp;component=nominatim&amp;order=priority">here</a>.</p>
-->
</p>
<p>
Please ensure that you include a full description of the problem, including the search
query that you used, the problem with the result and, if the problem relates to missing data,
the osm type (node, way, relation) and id of the item that is missing.
</p>
<p>
Problems that contain enough detail are likely to get looked at before ones that require
significant research.
