That's great; and I trust that my constructive feedback won't be taken
as dissing your achievment...

You return nothing for "B1 1BB" (Birmingham Council House), which is
tagged "addr:postcode=B1 1BB"

For a common address, such as "2 High Street", you return multiple
results, with no obvious distinguishing feature. Please include the
"addr:city" value in the results (if present); and allow searches to
be limited by that tag.

I'll be happy to log these in a bug tracker, if you have one.
