I think this is style dependant? I get 50% rubbish right now - (as 
compared to what I find via "nearest places) in all categories.
If you get it to show the same as nearest places it would be great, 
otherwise (but this would be a good idea in any case) it would be great 
if one could exclude POI via points file in the style-file e.b. by 
having a line like this:
highway=traffic_lights [0x* resolution 24 -noindex]

There are many POI that are nice to have in a map, but not needed to be 
searched for (e.g. traffic_lights, park benches, railway crossings, 
trees, diverse obstacles like bump_gate, kissing_gate,..., water_tower, 
energy plant, cliff, wayside shrine, .......
excluding them would a) speed up the index creation, b) get rid of items 
that you don't need to search for.

Really great that it is more or less working however!
(well city, state/province, country still not usable - city would be 
great to have off course)
