QGIS Nominatim Locator Filter Plugin

This is a so called QgsLocator filter for the Nominatim/OpenStreetMap search service, implemented as a QGIS plugin.

NOTE that the core functionality of this plugin is now also in the core of QGIS using the > prefix. So to use the core QGIS Nominatim Locator you type "> artis" to search for 'artis'.

This Locator Filter searches for names in the Nominatim service:

You can install this 'Locator Filter' as a plugin by searching for it in the QGIS plugin manager in your QGIS desktop, search for 'Nominatim':
