 Hi OSM folks,

 I've come across a small bug within the geocoding api nominatim

 The API documentation [1] says, searching for postal code should be done
 with the 'postalcode' parameter.

 The documented parameter does not give any results for some cities, e.g.:
 http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?postalcode=4000&city=Basel&countrycodes=CH&format=json

 Changing the 'postalcode' parameter to 'postalCode' for no obvious reasons
 gives results:
 http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?postalCode=4000&city=Basel&countrycodes=CH&format=json

 Please verify that the correct API documentation is present and/or explain
 the situation, that would be a great help :)

 Thanks!

 Paul
