Comment (by lonvia):

 It would be fairly easy to remove all spaces from house numbers in the OSM
 data. That would solve the case, were '1 b' is mapped but '1b' is typed in
 the search box. The case with the other way around is not so simple to use
 solve because it involves correctly guessing that the term typed in the
 search box was a house number.

 The drawback of this approach is that one cannot find '1 b' anymore when
 '1 b' was mapped. So the question is, which notation is used more often
 where.

 Just to be clear. This issue is only with spaces in housenumbers. There is
 no issue with different case of the addendum. Changing ticket subject to
 reflect that.
