Hi,
After several false starts the goecoding tool I've been working on
seems to have succeeded in indexing the full planet file and it is now
available for people to experiment with here:

Cool thing!
Below you'll find some things I found. Maybe they are fixable, maybe not.
gustav-heinemann-straße gau-odernheim -> ok
gustav-heinemann-str gau-odernheim -> nothing
gustav-heinemann-str. gau-odernheim -> nothing
gustav-heinemann-straße 55239 -> nothing
55239 -> nothing
the node has openGeoDB:postal_codes=55239 set:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/139549564
Gustav-Heinemann Straße, Gau-Köngernheim, Gau-Odernheim, Germany
gustav-heinemann-straße gau-odernheim -> states
"Gustav-Heinemann Straße, Gau-Köngernheim, Gau-Odernheim, Germany"
although this street is just in Gau-Odernheim, as stated by the is_in
tag of the node named above:
is_in = Alzey-Worms,Rheinhessen-Pfalz,Rheinland-Pfalz,Bundesrepublik
Deutschland,Europe
Gau-Köngernheim is tagged as suburb where it should maybe better be
tagged as municipality or district (?) it is administrational a part of
the village Gau-Odernheim but not spatially..
Thank you for that cool-tool!
Peter
