Node 3117603944 was established in 2014 with tags

Yet, when I query nominatim for Ringvegen 45 Sørkjosen I get no
results.
What is going wrong here? Sørkjosen itself is found [2] so the problem
does
not seem to lie in the special character (I wouldn't have thought so).
Also
found is the street which is named Ringveien [3] in OSM. No idea why
the
street is called different than the address node, but does Nominatim
not
index address nodes?
Nominatim only indexes addresses of streets and then searches for
address nodes based on the address of the street they are attached
to.
In that particular example, the housenumber got attached to Hovedvegen
because Nominatim could not find a 'Ringvegen' and used the nearest
street:
https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/details.html?osmtype=N&osmid=3117603944
Just one question though (well two acutally): why does it find
Hovedvegen as nearest street and not Reingveien
https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/details.html?osmtype=W&osmid=282670088
?
And would it be an idea to make some kind of fuzzy matching when
searching for names? Like "it is better to take a street which has just
one different letter then one where all differ"?
