I've fixed this - a column had changed name - thanks for the bug report.

BTW - you may find that using the new bounded=1 option provides more control:

http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=[fuel]&viewbox=-1.54%2C53.41%2C-1.43%2C53.36&bounded=1

bounded=1 limits the search to only items in the viewbox

the [] around fuel force it to be interpreted as a tag search (so it
won't find places called 'fuel')

Hope this helps.
