The possible fields are:
- * `place_id` - reference to the Nominatim internal database ID (see notes below)
+ * `place_id` - reference to the Nominatim internal database ID ([see notes](#place_id-is-not-a-persistent-id))
* `osm_type`, `osm_id` - reference to the OSM object
- * `boundingbox` - area of corner coordinates
+ * `boundingbox` - area of corner coordinates ([see notes](#boundingbox))
* `lat`, `lon` - latitude and longitude of the centroid of the object
* `display_name` - full comma-separated address
* `class`, `type` - key and value of the main OSM tag
The feature list has the following fields:
- * `place_id` - reference to the Nominatim internal database ID (see notes below)
+ * `place_id` - reference to the Nominatim internal database ID ([see notes](#place_id-is-not-a-persistent-id))
* `osm_type`, `osm_id` - reference to the OSM object
* `category`, `type` - key and value of the main OSM tag
* `display_name` - full comma-separated address
The place information can be found in the `result` element. The attributes of that element contain:
- * `place_id` - reference to the Nominatim internal database ID (see notes below)
+ * `place_id` - reference to the Nominatim internal database ID ([see notes](#place_id-is-not-a-persistent-id))
* `osm_type`, `osm_id` - reference to the OSM object
* `ref` - content of `ref` tag if it exists
* `lat`, `lon` - latitude and longitude of the centroid of the object
- * `boundingbox` - comma-separated list of corner coordinates
+ * `boundingbox` - comma-separated list of corner coordinates ([see notes](#boundingbox))
The full address of the result can be found in the content of the
`result` element as a comma-separated list.
The place information can be found in the `place` elements, of which there may
be more than one. The attributes of that element contain:
- * `place_id` - reference to the Nominatim internal database ID (see notes below)
+ * `place_id` - reference to the Nominatim internal database ID ([see notes](#place_id-is-not-a-persistent-id))
* `osm_type`, `osm_id` - reference to the OSM object
* `ref` - content of `ref` tag if it exists
* `lat`, `lon` - latitude and longitude of the centroid of the object
- * `boundingbox` - comma-separated list of corner coordinates
+ * `boundingbox` - comma-separated list of corner coordinates ([see notes](#boundingbox))
* `place_rank` - class search rank
* `display_name` - full comma-separated address
* `class`, `type` - key and value of the main OSM tag
Comma separated list of min latitude, max latitude, min longitude, max longitude.
The whole planet would be `-90,90,-180,180`.

+Can we used to pan and center the map on the result, for example with leafletjs
+mapping library
+`map.fitBounds([[bbox[0],bbox[2]],[bbox[1],bbox[3]]], {padding: [20, 20], maxzoom: 16});`
+
+Bounds crossing the antimeridian have a min latitude -180 and max latitude 180,
+essentially covering the planet (See [issue 184](https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim/issues/184)).
