 - **Persistence:** Saves and restores map center and zoom level using `localStorage` (key: `marco:map-view`).
 - **Controls:** Enabled standard OpenLayers Rotate control (re-north) and custom Locate control.
 - **Pin Animation:** Selected pins are highlighted with a custom **Red Pin** overlay that drops in with an animation. The center dot is styled as a solid dark red circle (`#b31412`).
+- **Smart Zoom:** Implemented `zoomToBbox` to automatically fit complex geometries (ways/relations) within the visible viewport.
+  - **Dynamic Padding:** Calculates padding based on active UI elements (Sidebar on Desktop, Bottom Sheet on Mobile) to ensure the geometry is perfectly centered in the _visible_ map area.
+  - **Data Processing:** `OsmService` now calculates bounding boxes for ways and relations by aggregating member node coordinates.

+### 6. Search Functionality
+
+- **Provider:** Integrated **Photon API** (by Komoot) via `app/services/photon.js` for high-quality, typo-tolerant OpenStreetMap search.
+- **UI:** `SearchBoxComponent` implements a responsive search bar with instant autocomplete.
+  - **Debounced Input:** 300ms delay to prevent excessive API calls.
+  - **Location Bias:** Automatically biases search results towards the current map center to show relevant local places first.
+  - **Direct Navigation:** Selecting a result with a valid OSM ID navigates directly to the specific place details (`/place/osm:type:id`).
+- **Resilience:** Implemented retry logic (exponential backoff/fixed delay) for network errors and rate limits (429).
+- **Data Normalization:** Search results are normalized to match the internal POI schema, ensuring consistent rendering across Search and Map views.

 ## Current State
 
 - **Repo:** The app runs via `pnpm start`.
