Hi John,
i) There is no "competitor's map". The value of OSM is the data, not the
map. You can create tons of different maps with OSM data.
Said that, you can create a website with more features than the
"competitor's map". Feel free to do so. You can use the OSM data.
ii) Nominatim can search only within a bounding box. You can get the map
extent and append to the nominatim query (viewboxlbrt parameter).
Regards,
J. Gustavo

Am I missing something, or is there no way to sort Nominatim searches on
the main OpenStreetMap map page?
For example, if my map is showing an area of the United States where I
happen to know a mapped Starbucks exists, and I search for "Starbucks"
in the search panel, the entire panel is filled with Starbucks in Japan.
Do the same on a "competitor's" map, and you get what you expect: the
Starbucks that are closest to the current map view are listed first.
I could easily envision a first-time user not returning to OSM because
of this.
John
