Comment (by floscher):

 Thank you lonvia for the tip with the broken relation. I fixed the
 relation and now the string `7135 S Decatur Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89118` is
 correctly geocoded:
 http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php?q=7135+S+Decatur+Blvd%2C+Las+Vegas%2C+NV+89118

 @tom.sommer:
 Nominatim is the most popular [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocoding
 geocoder] in the OpenStreetMap-world, which is e.g. also used for the
 search on https://openstreetmap.org . This bugtracker is for bugs in the
 software (in this case the geocoder). For other things like e.g. data-
 issues that you can't resolve on your own, the
 [http://forum.openstreetmap.org forums], one of the
 [http://lists.openstreetmap.org mailinglists] or [http://help.osm.org] are
 the ideal places to get in contact with experienced mappers. And for
 individual things missing from the map there are also
 [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes Notes].
 But don't be afraid of not following a protocol. There are not many
 irrevocable rules in OSM, so as long as you respect the other mappers
 ("the community") and are willing to discuss with and learn from them,
 there's not much you can do wrong.
