Comment (by vibrog):

 There's a lot of names in the OSM database that are not presented in
 nominatim search results.
 - Considering that OpenStreetMap data validators encourages contributors
 to put tags on multipolygon relations rather than its members, it will
 make a lot of sense that nominatim must present relation names in search
 results.
 - I have contributed a lot of relation routes and hiking route networks
 that simply will not be found using nominatim searches. In several cases I
 have to put names on ways or nodes to trick nominatim to find these names.
