Hi,
i just added a new address which i tried to geocode 15 Minutes later:

	Harry-Garm-Weg 9, 56727 Mayen

On the front page of http://www.openstreetmap.org  this works as
expected and i get:

	House 9, Harry-Garm-Weg, Mayen, Landkreis Mayen-Koblenz,
	Rhineland-Palatinate, 56727, Germany

	http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3514615829

When i follow the link to "Results from OpenStreetMap Nominatim" and
try to geocode the exact same Address:

http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php?q=Harry-Garm-Weg+9%2C+56727+Mayen&viewbox=-168.76%2C60.03%2C168.76%2C-60.03

I dont get an exact House match:

 Harry-Garm-Weg, Mayen, Landkreis Mayen-Koblenz, Rhineland-Palatinate,
56727, Germany (Residential) (details)

I am a little puzzled ... It seems there are at least 2 instances where one fell behind
on updates.
