Comment (by lonvia):

 Support for waterway relations added in
 [https://github.com/openstreetmap/osm2pgsql/commit/e1aa1badba5c03962fbeb59fcc34c9d67bf57b69
 osm2pgsql]. However it works properly only for rivers that have exactly
 one linear stream. If there are breaks or side arms, a random linear
 section will be returned as geometry. Same fix needed as for sectioned
 roads.

 Also need to figure out how to improve search results so that the river
 ways show up further down in the list (or not at all).
