restrict postcode searches to postcode in first token
In structured queries we should only assume that it is
a postcode search when only the postcode and optionally
the country is given. If any other term is present, it
is better to avoid the search for postcode as it yields
too many bad searches. Given that the terms in a structured
query are ordered, this means that the postcode must be
the first token just like in the unstructured query.

The latest version of osm2pgsql no longer creates indexes on

remove ST_Covers check when also testing for ST_Intersects
Using both is slightly problematic because they have different
ways to use the index. Newer versions of Postgis exhibit a
query planner issue when both functions appear together.

use closest containing place for unlisted addr:place
We can't use getNearFeatures() to determine the parent of a
place with an unlisted addr:place because this function
returns place nodes that are potentially outside the area
of interest. Doing the complete address computation is too
expensive, so simply use the area with the largest rank that
contains the feature instead.

add unknown addr:place to address output
When a POI has no addr:street but an addr:place that is not
contained in the name list of the parent place, then remember
this situation and merge the content of addr:place into the
address output.
We don't need to care about translations in this case because
it is obvious that no object with translations exists if the
parent isn't the object named in addr:place.

exclude unnamed highway areas

area may overshadow the actual street when computing the address
parent. As unnamed highways are not very useful anyway, we
