 Problem description

 In a previous release of www.openstreetmap.org, I could search on an
 intermediate address from a set of addresses that have addr:interpolation
 end tags.  When I selected the intermediate address from the search
 results, the osm app would calculate the relative expected position of the
 address along the interpolated way and would zoom in to that position with
 a highlighted red circle.

 Now when I select the address from the search results, it just zooms into
 the nearest end-point address as described in the example below:-


 1. The street Heriot Row in Edinburgh UK has addr:interpolation tags for
 the 2 end nodes (with values 1 & 19) and a connecting way.

 2. I enter '9 heriot row edinburgh uk' in the search box

 3.Nominatim returns:-

 House 9, Heriot Row, New Town, City of Edinburgh, Scotland, EH2 1DR,
 United Kingdom

 4.I select "House 9, Heriot Row....."

 5.The attributes for node 2173909689 for 1 Heriot Row is returned with an
 orange circle around the 1 on the map.  Previously, this would have
 estimated the position for no 9 Heriot Row and displayed that address on
 the map instead.


 Let me know if you need more info to investigate this.  Thanks.
