[BUG] Why "Incorrect Request" when simple search a place ?

Why "Incorrect Request" when simple search a place ?

use case

• from welcome page, enter Place/Surname page
• enter 'Lyon' that is place I know to exist in the database
• the server reply with an "incorrect request" page as attached below

Problem do exist in current master branch at cid 024d8c4

I just tried with cid 7ab19e8 head of hgouraud/fallback
There is no more "Incorrect request"

• But the 'Lyon' search place reports empty page (image 1)
• while selecting successively from Country to Town (not using search part) do show the related place (image 2)
• Is the Search key supposed to work ?

The semantic of the search button needs to be clarified, possibly extended. It acts today more as a filter (as do the bi, ba, ... checkmarks) and filters on the basis of the top most entries in the places.

Looking back at the code, I believe that checking the box "sous-lieux" (sub-places) should find Lyons anywhere in the hierarchy of places derscriptions.

I understand the limitation, it is OK for me.

Do you find "Lyons" when you tick the "sous-lieux" check-mark?
