 OSM node [http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3779177132 3779177132]:
 OSM way [http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/61960266 61960266]

 addr:city       Aquileia
 addr:housenumber        18
 addr:postcode   33051
 addr:street     Corso Antonio Gramsci

 Nominatim searches:

 "corso gramsci, aquileia": "No search results found"

 "via gramsci, aquileia": matches "Corso Antonio Gramsci, Beligna,
 Aquileia, UD, Friuli Venezia Giulia, 33051, Italia"

 Only complete address will find node:
 "corso antonio gramsci 18, aquileia" is correctly found.

 IMHO the mentioned behaviour will frustrate OSM potential users and (in my
 case) will reflect in cumbersome geocoding imports, if source datasets not
 perfecty compliled.

 I would expect that nominatim could match
 "corso gramsci 18, aquileia" or even "via gramsci 18, aquileia"

 Thanks for your attention.
