Hi,
Our friends from "Project:Poland" have created such a monuments search engine:
http://wikilubizabytki.centrumcyfrowe.pl/
It does generally 3 things: a) in the first field you can put a keyword for a name of monument - b) in the second field you can put the name of the place - i.e. a name of the village, county, city district etc. c) in the third field you can put the number or part of the number of the monument and see its offical name and address
For example: if you put in the first field the keyword "pałac" (palace) you will get a list of all palaces in Poland which have official heritage status. If you add to the second field the keyword "Warszawa" - you have a list of all palaces in Warsaw.
Cheers,

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?

Maybe people can work together to make an European search engine......

Yes.. you are right we should think about it.

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.

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.)
