Autocomplete place suggestions (type-ahead)

GET 
/v2/search/autocomplete

Fast type-ahead place suggestions for search-as-you-type UIs. Backed by a self-hosted Photon (OSM) instance tuned for prefix matching — far better for partial queries ("Kumasi Mal…") than the full-search geocoders. Falls back to the standard chain (Geoapify → SerpAPI → Nominatim) if Photon is unconfigured or unavailable.

Results are biased toward Ghana by default; pass lat/lng (e.g. the user's location) to bias ranking to a specific point.
