Number of Results on My Own Nominatim Different From OpenStreetMap.org

[xd144]

Hi everyone,
I have installed nominatim on CentOS 7.6.Nominatim code is the latest version.And I also installed nominatin-ui for v3.2.2.Then I import comores latest data for test.
Questions:
1.https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/search.html?q=store%2Ccomores returns No search results found.
But,I query on my server then it shows some results.
2.https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/search.html?q=church%2Ccomores results is more than that I query from my server.

The instance on openstreetmap.org has different data and runs a different software version than what you have installed. It is normal that there are different results.

On one hand,I get that the last updated time is 2021-12-15T12:48:04+00:00 from https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/details.html?osmtype=N&osmid=5033710268&class=amenity. And the last updated time is today on my server.So I guess that comores data on openstreetmap.org is not new.Is that So?

One the other hand,I try icu tokenizer.And I configure icu name and path in .env file.Then I import comores data again and meet problem:

openstreetmap.org is minutely up to date. The data differences come from running updates instaed of reimports.

Your ICU library is likely too old.

[xd144]

My PyICU version is 2.8.1
CentOS icu version is inlibicu-50.2.It is installed by yum.It is the latest version by default on CentOS 7.
PHP ICU version is 69.1.
So I try to update icu version from 50.2 to 69.1.But it is hard to update.I find postgres ,postgis depend on 50.2 icu.
Then I try to install 69.1 from source code.But it seems that it doesn't work.I am troubled.
