Copying address from Nominatim search results

General talk
1

When you search for something on the openstreetmap.org website with Nominatim, you get some results. I can not select and copy parts of them, when I hover over the result, you can only use that as a clickable link to whatever is returned. If I want to select the address for copy-paste, I have to start with at least the word Nominatim under Search results.

I find this very inconvenient. I there a reason why this is programmed this way and can this be changed so you can select any part of the address Nominatim returns?

Tried this with recent Firefox and Chrome on Win11, but to my knowledge this has always been like that.

On the Windows pc using a mouse and Chrome, can swipe-select the results area from right behind the Nominatim title downqward, to select part or all of the results area. From the bottum up as wel. I cannot swipe-select one or more results in the middle of the list.

That is the solution, use Nominatim, for example:

You can also access that via the OSM website itself:
