Our friends from "Project:Poland" have created such a monuments search engine:
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 :(
Yes.. you are right we should think about it.
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?
Sure.. although our source database has no geotaging info - maybe by the next year we try to geotag them ourselves but it is going very hard work as the source database quite often has very rough location description such as "somewhere in Village X".
Anyway - maiking European search engine is indeed an intersting idea.
