 Problem occurs when address is located in a CDP boundary. Searches fail
 when the postal city is included in the search. For example:
 Fails - 7732 234th Place Northeast, Redmond, WA

 The search works when omitting the postal city. The search returns the
 CDP,
 Union Hill-Novelty Hill at the correct location.

 Passes - 7732 234th Place Northeast, WA

 The building is tagged as follows:
 addr:city=Redmond
 addr:housenumber=7732
 addr:street=234th Place Northeast
 addr:postcode=98053
 name=7732

 I believe that an addr:city tag should be included in the search results.
 Apparently, adding the addr:city tag to the highway results a match.
 However, this doesn't seem like the right way to tag a highway.
