Country filter does not filter only countries about name-suggestion-index HOT 5 CLOSED

I'd guess the quick fix for this particular problem would be that website does not match country as pl but as "pl instead - "pl" (with the trailing quote) would produce even less false positives, but would also prevent matching things like "gb-sct".

However, it seems that https://nsi.guide/ website only does the simplest matching for that country in entered, i.e. if you entered specific country code, it won't match:

1. things that are present it whole world - e.g. searching for amenity=parcel_locker in pl will not find GLS, even if it has [{"include":["001"]}] (i.e. whole world)
2. any other UNM_49 numeric codes (like e.g. "039" for Southern Europe)
3. manually defined polygons as in that example, wikidata QIDs, and other more complex cases like e.g. that specific one peoples_united_bank_ct.geojson

While the first (whole world) could be added relatively easily manually, second is noticeably harder, and third near impossible.

I'm not sure if implement just 1. would make it less confusing, although it would cover many popular cases. Wiki lists @ideditor/location-conflation which perhaps could be used for more complete country-matching support.

How much work that would be implementing that (including detecting country polygon crossing manually specified polygon to get full support), I don't know... Perhaps UI should then be changed so that instead of typing a country code, you pick a single point on the map, and it finds all polygons that this point is inside...

What is more confusing to me is why it is showing you "People's United Bank" which is marked as dissolved, and you have not checked "Dissolved" checkbox.

It also confused me - but this checkbox causes NSI to list solely dissolved ones. If I understood it right.

Yeah - nsi.guide is really just a site I threw together. It's not like a fully featured "product".

I think when I originally made it, the index was still using country codes, and we hadn't switched to using the locationSet yet (which supports sub-country regions and other include/exclude situations).

I think this is just a duplicate of #4077 isn't it?

Yep, duplicate of #4077
