Comment (by lonvia):

 Nominatim does eliminate a few common stop words, mostly articles.
 Extending this list is not simple for two reasons: first, eliminating stop
 words from one language can cause heaps of trouble in another language (or
 in the case of Nominatim, it causes tons of problems with ref values).
 Second, we can't just add new stop words to an existing database without
 transforming all existing names. Not completely unsolvable but needs some
 more thinking.

 If you want to extend the list of stop words for your own installation,
 extend the list of replacements in the code
