 This has nothing to do with search order. Presuming you mean
 http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?osmtype=W&osmid=55527901
 then this street does not seem to be within 'Москва' but only within the
 'Московская область'. So, this is rather problem of implementing fuzzy
 search for which various tickets already exist.

 > The most annoying part is the inability to parse various formats for
 specifying the house number, and the building, etc. (e.g.: "д. 7, корп.
 2")

 If you have a special house number format in your area and like that to be
 supported, please open a new ticket as a feature request, describe the OSM
 tagging schema and what the search terms would be.
