[Should fix #2]

realpixelcode commented 1 year ago

That's not a good idea, because Nominatim's usage policy explicitly forbids auto-complete search. Also, there's a maximum of 1 request per second per app. That means globally, only one Pixelfed user could make use of the Nominatim integration per second.
