Improve address search

If one enters an almost complete or even complete address, the suggestions are sometimes very unrelated and sometimes misleading.

Examples:

• Enter 10787 Keithstraße 2 which is a ZIP code 10787 and an address Keithstraße 2: You get five numbers in Keithstraße, but none of them is 2. If there’s a direct match, it should be displayed as first result
• Enter Keithstraße 2, Berlin yields the only result

  Keithstraße 2
  12307, Lichtenrade, Tempelhof-Schoneberg, Berlin, Berlin, Germany
  

  which is very misleading because there’re two Keithstraße 2 in Berlin in different districts (smart, right?) and both should be displayed (in the worst case a user interprets the only result as the fact that there’s only one street with that address).
• Entering Gubener Str. 40, 10243 allows to identify an address correctly since the ZIP code identifies the city, but it yields

  Gubener Straße 40
  Gelsenkirchen, Gelsenkirchen , Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany
  Gubener Straße 40
  40627, Dusseldorf, Düsseldorf , Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany
  

  which has much less to do with the exact match Gubener Str. 40, 10243 Berlin which isn’t displayed at all.

I’m aware that this confusion might be caused by regional address forms, but as a user I simply don’t want you to make me think.

maps.openstreetmap.org has this figured out, you can probably take over their logic.

Ok, should be better now. All queries work now.

Thanks @krichter722 and @pathmapper for the digging. Jep, data should be pretty much the same. Our dump is 4-5 weeks old.

However, our Pelias software stack is as old. Their reference server usually runs the latest & greatest. Could be the reason. I’ll upgrade this week and report back.

@krichter722 for future reference: If you could paste the URLs used to find an address that’d much speed up our end. In the developer tab of your browser (usually CTRL + SHIFT + I), you can see the request in the Network tab, it always starts with search?. If you copy the Request URL you see on the right next time, that’d be superb:)
