Searches for house numbers are already limited by the number of parent places. In fact, the limit assumed that every parent place has exactly one match against the given housenumber. That is not true in reality and so we were dropping relevant results. Fixes #329.
Nominatim
Nominatim (from the Latin, 'by name') is a tool to search OpenStreetMap data by name and address (geocoding) and to generate synthetic addresses of OSM points (reverse geocoding). An instance with up-to-date data can be found at https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org. Nominatim is also used as one of the sources for the Search box on the OpenStreetMap home page.
