In this issue, please share how address components (state/province, city, street, house number) are abbreviated in your language/country. This will help us expand our synonyms list for the search.

For example:
In English:
st. -> street, saint
ave. -> avenue
blvd. -> boulevard

Or you can edit the list and submit a PR.

For English:

Line 31: {"dr", {"doctor"}}, > {"dr", {"drive", "doctor"}},

Not sure what that note on line 28 means.

Here's a great resource for abbreviations in English (shows proper abbreviations and misspellings too): https://pe.usps.com/text/pub28/28apc_002.htm

Yes, but this issue was more of a feedback one, we can still collect synonyms and implement in another PR.

(maybe re-open and pin it? WDYT?)

@x7z4w Thanks for the great work, I noticed you PRs always mentions synonyms not abbreviations?
Is this just for abbreviations or for synonyms as well ? I have some synonyms for Arabic but I have some questions

If I can add synonyms, how they are added ? (in libs/search/query_params.cpp)
for example if A = B = C, is {"A", {"B", "C"}} enough or we need to add all combinations {"B", {"A", "C"}} {"C", {"A", "B"}} so that is user searches with A or B or C, all results appear
This will happen only in synonyms, as in abbreviations the small word will always map to larger words

Also another one, do this happens before or after search normalization ? (in base/normalize_unicode.cpp)
for example [not real abbreviation]
{"âốế", {"Any Other Entry"}}
if user searches for "aoe" does this expansions happens as well and results having "Any Other Entry" appears ?

or should we have {"aoe", {"Any Other Entry"}} [assuming that user query is normalized first then abbreviations expansion is done]

Internally they're called synonyms. but these are abbreviations (st -> street, saint), as AFAIK search will still try to match the original query.
If you need synonyms for the POIs (cafe, coffee -> amenity=cafe) please see.

Yes, if you need:
1st -> first and first -> 1st,
then you need to add all combinations:

{"1st", {"first"}},
{"first", {"1st"}}

Not sure, probably after normalization, as it also tokenizes the query before matching synonyms.

RE: pin, there is a hard limit to 3. I don't know who unpinned, there were also other good candidates to pin. I'm gonna reopen it but not pin it so it can be easily found on search.

Some Romanian abbreviations:

Bl. - Bloc (Apartament block)
Sc. - Scara (Staircase entrance)
!!! Here blocks are tagged either like "Bl. X" or "Bloc X" depending on the mapper/time it was added, so if someone seaches "Bloc Y" the search should be able to return "Bl. Y" too. Same thing with Scara.

G-Ral - General (General)
Lt. - Locotelent (Liutenant)
Col. - Colonel (Colonel)
Dr. Doctor - (Doctor)
P-ța - Piața (Square/Market)
Pța - Piața
Str. - Strada

Șos. - Șoseaua (Road)

Note: Slightly related and since I couldn't find an issue for this.

How do we solve for common translation in, for example, bilingual places.

E.g. in Catalan "Carrer" means "Street", in Spanish would translate to "Calle". Could we make it so that when represent this translation so that we could search for the streets this way?

We don't have a "street" type, only highway classifications from OSM (which aren't necessarily representing e.g. "avenue" or "highways").

Thanks @matheusgomesms, that sounds like a great resource! Croatia was missing completely there, so I've now invested some time to add a list of Croatian abbreviations at the wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Name_finder/Abbreviations#Hrvatski_-_Croatian

I'd wait a few days so other Croatian mappers can update it (there was some interest in our local chat), and then it would be nice to import it in CoMaps.

Has someone systematically looked at what is available in that wiki and converted it into CoMaps PR?

In this issue, please share how address components (state/province, city, street, house number) are abbreviated in your language/country. This will help us expand our synonyms list for the search.

For example: In English: st. -> street, saint ave. -> avenue blvd. -> boulevard

Or you can edit the list and submit a PR.

I want to suggest, that you need to keep track on the chosen language of the map.

What I mean, lets say english, than "la tour eiffel" is named Eiffel Tower in search. With the chosen "keep names" you need to search for tour eiffel in all languages.

by the way, to contribute more abbreviations (for german)
1te -> erste -> 1.
2te -> zweite -> 2.
3te -> dritte
[any Number]te -> (N)te

prefixe

Groß*. (Große, Großer, Großes) -> gr./gr [Große Hauptstraße -> Gr. Hauptstr., Große Straße -> gr str]
Klein*. (Kleine, Kleiner, Kleines) -> kl./kl [Kleiner Gartenweg -> Kl. Gartenweg, Kleine Straße -> kl str]

suffixe

Land/(x)land (as suffix) -> (x)l
Deutschland -> Deutschl
Sauerland -> Sauerl

Straße (street) -> Str. or Str (without dot)
Especially in german we like to concat things.
Die Stardardnamenswegvonirgendeinemheini(straße) could be written in Stardardnamenswegvonirgendeinemheinistr(.),
Linux-Torvald-Str., Konrad-Zuse-Str. Lindenstr. (with small s) etc...

Special abbreviations for cities:
Frankfurt an der Oder (a river) -> F a.d.O (no, this is wrong), is found by Frankfurt (Oder), but one would search for Frankfurt Oder
Frankfurt am Main (the city of banks on a "male" river) -> F a.M./Frankfurt (Main) expected searched by Frankfurt Main [FrankfurtMain]
(?i)\bfrankfurt(?:\s+am|\s+)?\s(?:main| ?main ?)\b
Brandenburg an der Havel -> Brandenburg (Havel)

Instead of a rivername this could also happen in addition to a region.

Menden (Sauerland) as shown on OSM, but really means Menden im Sauerland where Sauerland clarifies that the city with a redundant name lies in this region.
We would search for Menden Sauerland.

Here I must suggest that even the OSM data are not consequent and I could get a rule when a city has a suffix "an der Ruhr" ("female" river) or just a bracket + name "(Ruhr)".

An then there are common names overlaying official names like the "Blaues Wunder" (blue wonder) for the Loschwitzer Brücke in Dresden.

So my suggestion is, differenciate between search result (fully qualified name) and search text (WYSIWYG).

@developsman I think you've pasted the reasoning_content from an LLM, this is some gibberish. Please clarify.

But I'll try to answer to at least some of these:

name:en etc. is already handled and unrelated to this issue.
Synonyms per-locale won't work if you'll try to search an address in a foreign country
dots etc. doesn't matter as they vanish on tokenization.

What do you mean?

This is what we do since 20 years and was used in many servers, especially LIMS and CRM related products.

The assumption without evidence does not appear very professional.

Why should Frankfurt an der Oder be shortened to F.o.d.O. this is a "Verschlimmbesserung" or improvement that is in reality worse than before.

If you want to make a short name it should be recognisable like:Frankfurt a. d. Oder

I'll try to explain what they mean with the city names in a more cohesive way. The rest are basically just simple abbreviations.

First let me explain the regions background. Other than the official levels of organisation like states, judicial districts, counties etc. there are a lot (unofficial) regions in Germany. Partly they are separate, partly they overlap with each other, partly they can even be inside a region as a subregion. Despite them not being official people generally know what they are.

Now coming to the actual issue. There can be multiple cities with the same name in Germany. Often to keep them apart the names are used in conjunction with a region or a river.

First let's start with regions. So to the name for the city of Menden in the region of Sauerland can be just Menden, Menden im Sauerland (Menden in the Sauerland region) or Menden (Sauerland). The official name might be just one of those variations, but people still might use and search for any of those variations or even a simple Menden Sauerland.
Sometimes the region can even be abbreviated like Hamm (Westf.) or Hamm (Westf) for the city Hamm in the region of Westfalen.
One other thing that comes into play here is that German words and even more so names can have a grammatical gender. So it is not always "im" like it is with Menden im Sauerland. It also can be "in" like Hamm in Westfalen, "in der" like Monschau in der Eifel etc.

With rivers it similar. There are famously two cities named Frankfurt and both are near a river. One near the river Main, one near the river Oder. There is Frankfurt am Main and Frankfurt an der Oder. They also can just be referred to just as Frankfurt (usually the far bigger one at the Main is meant then) or with the river in parenthesis like Frankfurt (Main) or Frankfurt (Oder).
Again grammatical gender also plays a role here. The river Main has a male grammatical gender and therefore it is "am" and the river Oder has a female grammatical gender so it is "an der". Complicating this even further there can be even abbreviations for the words in between like Frankfurt a. d. Oder or including them in parenthesis like Frankfurt (an der Oder) or Frankfurt (a. d. Oder).

These are just a limited set of examples, but it is the same for other cities, regions and rivers.

The search would already match both Frankfurt, we don't need to add anything else for this.

I've addressed some of these synonyms in the latest and previous PRs.
