addr:country takes a two letter country code, the UK is GB Canada is CA. If I enter en3 6rg,gb I get the same search result as EN3 6RG,GB so it appears the search is not case sensitive.<br><br>The UK has the same format for the postcode as Canada yet the search works with a space in the UK postcode but not in the Canadian one. Whom should I take this up with? Who is responsible for postcode formats?<br>

I guess you are referring to<br>
<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/597832654" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/597832654</a> though which is an<br>
older entry. When I search in Nominatim for "K1E3P6, Canada" I get a<br>
result and it looks like the correct location for me. Keep in mind that<br>
"ca" is not a country name.<br>
