#4724: Error in Nominatim search

 When I try to find information about a street, using it's name, I
 discovered a strange thing.

 If I search for the street "Strada Anton Pan" stored with ID number:
 42042650 in the following way, I get an empty array: "
 http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?format=json&q=Anton%20Pan,Satu%20Mare,Satu%20Mare,Romania
 ".

 But if I only give one word from the streets name, like: "
 http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?format=json&q=Anton,Satu%20Mare,Satu%20Mare,Romania
 " I get the correct data.
 The name field of this id is as follows: "Strada Anton Pan, Satu Mare,
 Municipiul Satu-Mare, Satu Mare, 440182, Romania"

 This thing is true to all street names, where the name contains a space in
 it, for example George Cosbuc, Ilarie Chendi(all of them from Satu Mare,
 Satu Mare, Romania). By searching for the whole name, I get an empty
 array, but if I search for only one word, I get the desired result.

 I don't know if this is a bug, or is intended this way, but please take a
 look.
