Improve search especially for UK (and UK postcodes)

In UK we currently do not that well (reddit comment)

Examples (please add more)

12 main street cambridge, ma

From the comments I guess that nominatim does this better.

The example looks like it refers to "Cambridge, Massachusetts, US" (where results suck indeed in both Nominatim and photon even though the underlying data looks perfectly fine). Be aware that the given example address is not mapped, so maybe properly ignoring house numbers is a factor here.

Thanks for investigating this. For me it is not the first user that has bigger problems with the UK. But I need to collect some more failing or problematic addresses to dig into it.
