What and who is affected by this issue/request?

Searchbar

Where on the platform does it happen?

How do we replicate the issue?

When searching wholefoods is does not find it because the “correct” name is whole foods.

Expected behavior (i.e. solution)

It would be great to be able to find company names that have two words or more as a single word. Maybe it needs a tag?

Are you referring to the search bar on the openstreetmap.org homepage? This category of the forum is for feedback about the forum more specifically. Anyhow, that search bar is powered by Nominatim, which has its own issue tracker. If you end up sending the developers a feature request, you may want to explain in more detail the reason why a user would enter a multi-word name as a single word.
