Comment (by lonvia):

 You expect that a partial match for your search term (the street name) is
 ranked higher than a perfect match. This is a bit tricky to do without
 breaking search for other countries. You can work around this issue by
 adding short_name tags with the commonly used abbreviated name to the
 streets.

 The second result works because Nominatim expects the name of an object at
 the beginning or the end of the query. Thus the 16 or 4 won't be matched
 against the ref tag.
