search osm for "Vangai" - notice how it finds railroad station and bus stop.
notice how there's a town with the same name at http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=57.0946&lon=24.5462&zoom=14&layers=B000FTF that isn't found.

i verified name in josm, it is correct.

I've noticed something similar also. Searching for Timaru in namefinder;

http://gazetteer.openstreetmap.org/namefinder/?find=Timaru

doesn't show the town Timaru in the results. Timaru is a town (point 340739515) located here;
