Looking at the OSM website results from Free the Postcode are returned entirely separately from Nominatim. I therefore think it is a separate search engine called by the website. Furthermore I could not find any strings related to Free the Postcode on Nominatim github. AFAIK Nominatim does search CodePoint Open, and has done so for some considerable time. I just delivers an obfuscated postcode in the search results, but uses the centroid.
