<h3 dir="auto">How to reproduce the issue?</h3>
<p dir="auto">Search for "saint peters street, norwich" on the OSM website. Note no results found from OSM Nominatim installation.</p>
<p dir="auto">Search for "st peters street, norwich" and results are found.</p>
<p dir="auto">Ideally search results should not depend on the user knowing the precise expanded/contracted form.</p>
<p dir="auto">This could be achieved by creating a custom sanitizer during import stage. I'll look into creating a sanitizer which makes this relatively easy. <a href="https://github.com/lonvia">lonvia</a> has said an easier means of setting up such a sanitiser is being looked into.</p>
<p dir="auto">In Great Britain and Northern Ireland street names beginning "St " or "St. " are sometimes considered de-facto or are legally defined as such by the road naming authorities.</p>
