As you say, it does not remove items produced by process-exit or –process-destination options (I do not use either of those options). Just because you do not want to remove these roads from your index does not mean that others won’t – I certainly do, and that is the point of it being an option, rather than always working in a fixed way. For my map, I want the address index to be exactly that – an index of addresses. I do not know of any (UK) address that has a road number in it.</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">If you can suggest a way in which I can examine the value of a mkgmap variable (e.g. mkgmap:noindex) at the time of creating the index, then I will happily look at doing that instead.</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">Cheers,</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;">Mike</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm;"><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;" lang="EN-US">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;" lang="EN-US"> Gerd Petermann [mailto:gpetermann_muenchen@hotmail.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> 30 July 2015 09:22<br><b>To:</b> mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [mkgmap-dev] option to omit road refs from index:</span></p></div></div><p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p><div><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="">Hi Mike,<br><br>okay, I tried your patch now with the default style<br>and a tile containing data in my home area<br>in Lower Saxony:<br>63240008: 2453504,378880 to 2473984,407552<br># : 52.646484,8.129883 to 53.085938,8.745117<br><br>The index file size is smaller, that's good, but I don't see<br>a big change in the search results, I still see <br>entries like "A 1" or "A 28 Oldenburg" when I<br>just enter "A".
