Geocoding seems to be broken - May 2024

[alasdairrae]

When I search for a place using the Geocoding option and then hit search I get no results. Previously this worked fine for me.

Is the connection to the Nominatum API somehow broken?

I have heard from another user of the plugin that they are having the same issue so I am reporting this here in the hope that it could be fixed or a solution found.

Thanks.

I can confirm the bug, and after a quick glance, it seems to be related to an outdated form of the url the plugin uses in the geocoding query. See, for example: link

Here is the error message for my case:
