very nice, I'll try with one more Gdańsk image. Btw, maybe the engine
should be a bit more forgiving with missing diacritics, the search for
"Gdansk" leads to zero results :(

I liked something similar on the Hungarian website:

http://wikilovesmonuments.hu/search.php

When I understand correctly, the first option even tries to find
monuments nearby your geo-ip location, the second by address, the third
by coordinates an the forth by ID. Although my Hungarian is restricted
to 10-15 words, I could identify "my" monuments with this engine (even
without diacritics). Maybe the Hungarian algorithms would be interesting
for the Polish Project developers?

You understand absolutely well :)

Unfortunately our search engine is not enought accurate yet, because we haven't got coordinates from the national heritage office, so we have given coordinates to every monuments by a geolocation bot (thanks to grin [1]). It still needs some manual correction.

The search engine has written by Tgr [2], and we gladly give you under free licence.
(It is some SQL queries on a PostgreSQL database.)
