Talk:Search engines

Page title

Currently named "Search engines". I redirected the page title "Geocoding" to here, although maybe that's a better title for this content?

The trouble with "Search engines" is that (for me a least) it's strongly associated with searching the web with a text search string (googling). And actually there's a few things we could discuss on that topic. Getting POI data indexed in google searches etc. But... on this page currently we're talking about geocoding or map search tools (Nominatim being the main software used with OSM data) .

So yeah. It could be there's a better page title for this

OSM or not?

"API is based on a proprietary designed dataset" - so is bigdatacloud.com based on OSM or on some proprietary designed dataset? "open public sources" is mentioned, what indicates yet another standard mix. It seems to be not adding anything to description and that it is just marketing buzzword.
