Comment (by lonvia):
I've now normalized the postcodes in the external gb_postcodes table on
the osm.org instance to alleviate the problem a bit. This is not a full
fix but only a temporary hack. The wrong results will still be there but
there is a better chance that also some from the right area show up and
are ranked higher. Let me know if you see any degradation in search
results that previously worked.
Commands used for normalization:
{{{
update gb_postcode set postcode=upper(make_standard_name(postcode));
select getorcreate_word_id(postcode) from gb_postcode;
}}}
Also requires [changeset:b944e8b/nominatim]
