Hi!
About 3 weeks ago, I’ve added some addresses to the map. It didn’t take long for mapnik to render them, but the address search at http://www.openstreetmap.org/ and https://www.openstreetmap.de/karte.html haven’t realized the changes yet. This also applies to other address edits which i’ve done not so long ago. I was wondering whether only my edits are being ignored, or whether this is a general problem. The address search used to be up-to-date only a few minutes or even seconds after the upload. Perhaps, there’s a correlation with the redaction process?
The search service on openstreetmap.org (and presumably openstreetmap.de) is Nominatim. If you go to this page, you can see when Nominitim is using data from: http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/
It currently says “Data: 2012/07/10”, so it won’t find anything added/changed since then. I think it has stopped updating because of the redaction process, though I’m not sure why exactly. And I don’t know when it will next update. Also see Platform status, it says for Nominitim "Updates are on hold during the redaction process. ": http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Platform_Status
