[OSM-newbies] Street names and Nominatim

[john whelan]

What does Nominatim search for a street name?  street=xyz or name=xyz?

It matters because in Ottawa most roads are labeled name=xyz not street, and
Nominatim doesn't seem to find them but the odd one or two that are labeled
street=xyz do come up.

Example Richmond road is labeled street=richmond road, Nominatim finds it
whilst Merkley Drive, Ottawa is not found.

Thanks John
