Settings in scout server only say 'search in all maps'.
And I could not manage to limit search by giving country name.
Sure, its OSM Scout Server setting. You disable "Search in all maps" in Settings/GeocoderNLP. On the main screen you will see then country selector - choose the country/region you like.

All commercial satnav I have ever used required me to enter the address in separate fields: country, town, street, house number. In that order. There was no way to for example enter the street without selecting the town first. It seems logical, I do not often want to go to Oxford Street in "any town".
I suggest to proceed as follows. I will add ability to search without libpostal parsing and using the primitive parser only. Then, in essence, the same feature will be available without major GUI changes. Just start typing the addresses using the format the primitive parser expects: from inner to outer, separate by commas. Then, in future, when J1 will disappear, we can just continue using the same stack as now.
