Yes of course, but I tried to use different data sources of pbf files and
the result is still the same.
Is there any way to use exactly the same data source (pbf) as is used by an
official site?
Do you know what data is used by official nominatim?

As I mentioned before - there are more villages with the same problem.
That's why I assume that there has to be a configuration/data source
problem.

Here is a link to Słownik entry -
https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/details.html?osmtype=N&osmid=31879464&class=place
And local one - https://nazwa.takeanddrive.eu/tmp/nominatim_local_slowik.png
