Hi!

The nominatim api does not return any results when I search for a postal code.

Takes this for example:
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?format=json&polygon=0&countrycodes=DE&postalcode=66740

It should return the city "Saarlouis" but instead it returns nothing. A reverse search clarifies that this postalcode is known:

http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?format=json&polygon=0&countrycodes=DE&city=Saarlouis

I stumbled about the following strange behaviour:
When I enter a city in postalcode it returns the correct address. Take this:
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?format=json&polygon=0&countrycodes=DE&postalcode=Saarlouis

Is there something mixed up with Postalcode and city?

Nominatim was searching for the postal code in the wrong part of the address. Fixed.
