Making search more useful and usable

[pedrito1414]

Hi all, have had cause to use OAM much more in the last 12 months (humanitarian response and slum mapping) and I love it, but there is an aspect of the search that quite annoying. Wondered if it was fixable...

When you enter a search term, OAM returns a bunch of suggested options, but provides no disambiguation for places that have the same name but are not the same. See Mwanza in the screenshot (I was looking for the Tanzanian city).

There also seems to be no heirarchy in how the suggestions are returned, so when I try and go to Monrovia, the capital city in Liberia, I inevitably end up in a neighbourhood of LA or a village in Indiana first (both obviously in the US).

Hope that all makes sense. Keep up the great work!
