to store the locations.

+Sets the maximum number of database connections available for a single instance
+of Nominatim. When configuring the maximum number of connections that your
+PostgreSQL database can handle, you need at least
+`NOMINATIM_API_POOL_SIZE` * `<number of configured workers>` connections.
+For configuring the number of workers, refer to the section about

+results gathered so far.
+
+Note that under high load you may observe that users receive different results
+than usual without seeing an error. This may cause some confusion.

Enable logging of requests into a file with this setting by setting the log
-file where to log to. The entries in the log file have the following format:
+file where to log to. A relative file name is assumed to be relative to
+the project directory.
+
+
+The entries in the log file have the following format:
<request time> <execution time in s> <number of results> <type> "<query string>"
Request time is the time when the request was started. The execution time is
-given in ms and corresponds to the time the query took executing in PHP.
+given in seconds and corresponds to the time the query took executing in PHP.
type contains the name of the endpoint used.
Can be used as the same time as NOMINATIM_LOG_DB.

+query handling. It should only be used together with the CLI query functions.
+Enabling it for server mode may have unintended consequences. Use the `debug`
+parameter instead, which prints information on how the search is executed
+including SQL statements.
