Nominatim would be a lot more useful and intuitive if it included keys (or
just the most relevant ones) in the search.
A perfect example for this is one that I just came across:
Say you are looking for a building on a University campus, the building is
named "Seddon South". When using the main OSM website, the terms "seddon
south building" will not yield any result, but searching for "seddon
south" will surprisingly yield the result "'''Building''' Seddon South,
Therapies Road, Saint Lucia, Brisbane, Queensland, 4067, Australia".
This is extremely unintuitive for most users.
This is the search with the map including the building that we are looking
for:
