Sigh, this could easily be the silliest thread ever on talk.
See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim#Parameters
In general for POI search in an area I would suggest using
OverPass/OverPass Turbo (note however that this has the same issue as a
bounded Nominatim POI search in that it will

+1, to tag the operator the key operator:wikipedia (or wikidata) can be
used

Hi,
I think that we can add an option to bound the results to the current
viewport. That option would be passed to nominatim or any other search
engine.
Personally, I would prefer the search bounded by default, but users
could change it to "everywhere" to see additional results.
Regards,
It would be nice to have some shades of grey in there, like a choice of
radius, e.g. within 1km, 10km, 100km, 1000km

Could there also be sorting options for the result set? For example by
distance (nearest first), importance (the current algorithm?), ...
And how about filters to show what you are looking for: returning
places, POIs, roads, ...

Sorry, I'm with Maarten on this: it's a programming error.
I've tried searching on plenty of common stores and businesses

I’m in no way connected to Starbucks, but your statement is far from true

Please avoid being gratuitously offensive by describing something that lots
of volunteers have put countless hours into as "braindead".
Thank you.

No offense meant; it just seemed an apt term for a search algorithm that
favors matches 15,000 km away from one right in the area of obvious

In this case, two businesses closed and were replaced by a single business
that took over both buildings (they are adjoining.) How should I tag this?
I didn't see anything about closed: or former: on the wiki.
Thanks,

I usually just either replace the tags of the node with the info for the
new business (example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1400581558/history) ,
or in your case, the tags of the buildings. Perhaps merge the buildings
also if they are functionally one structure?

Would it not simply be sufficient to list viewport results at the top, ie
having a 'local' and 'global' list? Possibly in a small 'tree' view, in the
