`places.search`

Search for a place or an address by name: pass query (up to 120 characters) and optionally near, the point the results should lean toward, as {lat, lon} or "lat,lon". Returns up to five results from OpenStreetMap, each with a label, an address, lat and lon; a person then saves one with entries.place.set. Run it only when a person submits a search, never while they type. Each person gets 30 new lookups an hour, and only the words searched leave Oatmilk.
