Search – GET /v1/search

name returns ranked place matches from the CSD gazetteer (no key needed). Add near=lat,lon and a key to also search POIs by name within a 2 km radius, which reports whether a named POI is in the data and as what type.

POI search is area-scoped and keyed; confidence is never returned.
