Hi Janwillem, QLGT does not search vector maps for elements. The search dialog you mention is for searching symbols on a raster map.
The only way to find places is the online search. It's the tab with the globe and the magnifying glass. It uses either Google or the Open Route Service. HTH Oliver > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 27.
