<br>
I have been testing nominatim searches at openstreetmap.org and
found a problem when not including the prefix direction. It seems
like the prefix direction is required if it is in the street name,
otherwise the search fails completely.<br>
<br>
This search works:<br>
2755 SW BRIDGEWAY ST PALM CITY FL<br>
<br>
This search returns no results:</span><br>

<br>
Shouldn't nominatim be able to handle not including a prefix
direction?<br>
<br>
However, this search does returns a result:</span><br>
