 Search for the town Villeneuve-la-Garenne in France (
 http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details?osmtype=R&osmid=90080 ).
 I can't get any result even though it does exist (as the previous link
 just proves).

 Worse, it's autocorrected as "Villeneuve-lousiana-Garenne" on the web
 interface, see http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php?q=Villeneuve-
 la-Garenne&viewbox=-253.13%2C79.38%2C253.13%2C-68.52
