For example, I searched for " " ("street Zoological") at osm.org, but couldn't find anything in Moscow.

For most Russian street names, it's the most natural word order. (And hence, more preferred by some people when entering a formalized search query.)

But this street's name sounds better as " " ("Zoological street"), which indeed can be found: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?minlon=37.5783157348633&minlat=55.7643699645996&maxlon=37.5794830322266&maxlat=55.7651596069336 .

But it's true for many kinds of addresses: that both word orders would be admissible (, , , etc.)

So, it would be convenient if such a transposition would automatically cound as equivalent to an existing name in the search engine.
