For what it's worth, i was interested in this particular issue as a small personal project to learn more about Nominatim.  Here's my solution.  I converted Nominatim from PHP to python.  Then i turned it into a Postgresql stored procedure as a set returning function.  Then i modified it so when searching with housenumbers, it would join with TIGER data which has street numbers for the ends of the streets.  Finally i interpolated the position of the house being searched and offset it from the street.  If you're intreseted i can share the code.
