It works well enough for its intended purpose, to find things by name.  For
many ordinary data consumers, that is the main thing they want to do:
they need to find towns, villages, hamlets or even houses with specific
names.  Having found a town they can look at the icons and names
of shops to see what is there.  Not many need to find stop area
relations.  I've never needed to find a stop area relation.

If you want a more comprehensive search then use overpass-turbo.  I
do not consider it to be something suitable for ordinary consumers but
it does many (all?) of the things you may want.
