[Photon] photon search suggestions

Hello to all,

we installed a photon server in our environment and used the search 
index download link 
(http://download1.graphhopper.com/public/photon-db-latest.tar.bz2)
as well as a search index created by the Nominatim-Importer from our 
Nominatim database.

*May be somebody can help me with these questions:*

  * The results from the downloaded search index do not contain
    suburb-information

Example:  searching for "odenwaldstr breitendiel"    (where "breitendiel 
is a suburb of "Miltenberg")
                     Photon delivers only "Odenwaldstr Miltenberg"

     If we use the search index build on our Nominatim database, we 
receive "Odenwaldstr Breitendiel"

Looking with an Elastic Search Viewer to both of the indexes shows, that 
the relevant documents
     in the downloaded search index contain the attribute "city" = 
"Miltenbert", whereas in the search index
     from our Nominatim database "city" = "Breitendiel".

     In Our Nominatim database I can see, that there are entries with 
"type=>village" and "name=>Breitendiel"
     which probably is the reason, that Breitendiel is used as "city" in 
the index built on our Nominatim DB.

*Question**s:*

  * Is suburb information somehow included in the downloaded search index?
  * If yes, how can it be displayed?
  * How is this downloadable search index built? Also based on Nominatim?


*Further question:*

  * Is there a solution for the following problem:
      o "Lukasstr Miltenberg" is not found if you type "lukas str
        miltenberg"
      o "Landsberger Straße München" is not found if you type
        "landsbergerstr münchen"
      o => You have to type it exactly as in database (with or without
        space)


Any hint for me ;-)

Thanks a lot!
