Enter OAK, results are "Administrative Boundary Oak, Nuckolls County, Nebraska, United States of America"

Expected results: Oakland International Airport

Working searches:
KOAK
Oakland International Airport

Not working searcehs:
OAK
Airport near Oakland
Airport near Oakland, CA
Airport near Oakland, California
Oakland Airport

The airport in question seems to have a correct IATA tag per the documentation at:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:iata

Similar failures occur for the Zoo.

Not working:
Zoo near Oakland
Zoo near Oakland, CA
Zoo near Oakland, California

Working:
Zoo near Knowland Park

BOI (Boise International Airport) failed similarly, but there was no IATA tag on the node.

Does the nominatum treat three letter upper case as special (e.g. OAK) by searching it IATA tag?

Not really - "Zoo near Oakland" gives no results.
