+ Free-form query string to search for.
+ Free-form queries are processed first left-to-right and then right-to-left if that fails. So you may search for
+ [pilkington avenue, birmingham](//nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=pilkington+avenue,birmingham) as well as for
+ [birmingham, pilkington avenue](//nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=birmingham,+pilkington+avenue).
+ Commas are optional, but improve performance by reducing the complexity of the search.

+
+* `street=<housenumber> <streetname>`
+* `city=<city>`
+* `county=<county>`
+* `state=<state>`
+* `country=<country>`
+* `postalcode=<postalcode>`
+

+ OSM tagging schemas. **Do not combine with** `q=<query>` **parameter**.
+
