 <p>
-  This website is based on <a href="https://github.com/osm-search/nominatim-ui">Nominatim UI</a>,
-  a debugging interface for the <a href="https://nominatim.org/">Nominatim</a> geocoding software.
+  Nominatim is a search engine for <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/">OpenStreetMap</a> data.
+  You may search for a name or address (forward search) or look up data by its geographic coordinate
+  (reverse search). Each result comes with a link to a details page where you can inspect what data
+  about the object is saved in the database and investigate how the address of the object has been
+  computed.
 </p>
 
 <p>
-  The Nominatim API is installed at <code>Nominatim_API_Endpoint</code> and for questions you
-  should contact their administrators.
+  This website is the debugging interface for the
+  <a href="https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org">Nominatim search service</a>
+  used by the <a href="https://openstreetmap.org">OpenStreetMap website</a>.
