Cities don't come in the results anymore

[tiagomn]

Hi Guys, It's been around 2 months since some cities in Brazil are not coming in the results. I'll give one example which the result is not correct as we expected:

https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=sao%20jose%20dos%20campos&addressdetails=1&accept-language=pt-BR&format=jsonv2

It was supposed to return Sao Jose dos Campo, SP, Brazil but it's not returning anymore, and this is city is quite famous here in Brazil.

Do you guys know if there was an update in the Nominatim Database? As other cities don't come in the result either.

So the expected top result is either
São José dos Campos
https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/details.html?osmtype=R&osmid=298019&class=boundary (place=municipality)
or
São José dos Campos
https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/details.html?osmtype=R&osmid=5349757&class=boundary (admin_level=9 (district))

Hi mate.

Should be the first one. Many cities like this were shown in the past, but around 2 months they haven't been shown in the results. I also realized the the results are coming with few or may be one result of cities we type. For example: Sao Paulo, SP, there are other cities in Brazil called Sao Paulo, but in different states, but nominatim are showing only Sao Paulo, SP

Also, there is another important city here in Brazil which is not showing either: São Bernardo do Campo, SP, Brazil

Please list the exact search (URL) you're doing and which result (link to OSM object) that you'd expect to be the first result. This will help us avoid misunderstandings, especially in case one issue gets solved to see if the next is still open. We have instructions how to find the URLs on https://raw.githubusercontent.com/osm-search/Nominatim/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/report-issues-with-search-results.md

https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=sao%20jose%20dos%20campos&addressdetails=1&accept-language=pt-BR&format=jsonv2&limit=20

https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=sao%20bernardo%20do%20campo&addressdetails=1&accept-language=pt-BR&format=jsonv2&limit=20

I expected to see something like this for those issues using São Paulo as example:

In the past those cities were returned in the result, but now they are not.

Hi Guys. Thanks for fixing those cities, but the Capital of Brazil which is Brasilia, DF is not showing neither. Would you mind to take a look at this issue, please?
