## /search
Full text search endpoint which queries the elasticsearch doc store, slightly slower than suggest.
The full text search endpoint that matches the name of a place to points on the planet.
#### Required Parameters
* **input**: query string
* **input**: the string to search for (eg `new york city` or `london`)
#### Optional Parameters
* **lat**: latitude
* **lon**: longitude
* **lat**, **lon**: the latitude/longitude coordinates to bias search results towards (may increase relevancy)
* **zoom**: zoom level from which you wish to view the world
* **size**: number of results requested (defaults to 10)
* **layers**: datasets you wish to query (defaults to `poi,admin,address`).
* valid values are `poi`, `admin` or `address`
* **layers**: the datasets you wish to query (defaults to `poi,admin,address`). Valid values are:
* aliases for multiple datasets like `poi`, `admin` or `address`
* `poi` expands internally to `geoname`, `osmnode`, `osmway`
* `admin` expands to `admin0`, `admin1`, `admin2`, `neighborhood`, `locality`, `local_admin`
* `address` expands to `osmaddress`, `openaddresses`
* can also be specific to one particular dataset, for example `geoname`
* the name of one particular dataset, like `geoname` or `osmaddress`
* **bbox**: the bounding box from which you want all your results to come
* can be one of the following comma separated string values
* "southwest_lng,southwest_lat,northeast_lng,northeast_lat" `L.latLngBounds(southwestLatLng, northeastLatLng).toBBoxString()`

## /search/coarse
This is a coarse forward geocoder endpoint which only searches admin dataset layers.
Like the `/search` endpoint, but performs a "coarse" search, meaning that it only searches administrative regions
(countries, states, counties, neighborhoods, etc.).
#### Required Parameters
* **input**: query string
Same as `/search`.
#### Optional Parameters
* **lat**: latitude
* **lon**: longitude
* **zoom**: zoom level from which you wish to view the world
* **bbox**: the bounding box frome which you want all your results to come
* **size**: (defaults to 10)
* **layers**: (defaults to `admin`)
* **details**: (defaults to `true`)
Same as `/search`.
## /suggest
The autocomplete endpoint, it offers fast response time. Mixes results from around the provided lat/lon and also from precision level 1 and 3.
The autocompletion endpoint that offers very fast response times; ideal for completing partial user input. Mixes
results from around the provided lat/lon coordinates and also from precision level 1 and 3.

## /suggest/nearby
Works as autocomplete for places located near a latitude/longitude, this endpoint is the same as `/suggest` but the results are all from within 50 kilometers of the specified point. Unlike `/suggest`, `/suggest/nearby` does not mix results from different precision levels (500km, 1000km etc from lat/lon).
