#5274: Housenumbers containing a dash are not found

-----------------------------+-------------------------
 A housenumber in OSM may contain letters, dashes or other characters
 (source: [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr:housenumber]).
 However Nominatim cannot always find address nodes containing a dash.

 It will not find "Goedestraat 41-BS, Utrecht", although this node does
 exist: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2679526109

 It seems like it cannot find such addresses if the part after the dash are
 letters; if it contains another number it will find the address. For
 example "S.L. Louwesstraat 2-37, Enschede" correctly resolves to
 [http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2744509276].

 Both addresses should be treated the same way: "building# dash
 appartment#"
