Comment (by vibrog):
There's a lot of names in the OSM database that are not presented in
nominatim search results.
- Considering that OpenStreetMap data validators encourages contributors
to put tags on multipolygon relations rather than its members, it will
make a lot of sense that nominatim must present relation names in search
results.
- I have contributed a lot of relation routes and hiking route networks
that simply will not be found using nominatim searches. In several cases I
have to put names on ways or nodes to trick nominatim to find these names.
