[mkgmap-dev] Address search issues

Sorry to be providing insights piecemeal... but I just found another thing:

In Ireland, search actually fails on a street-by-street basis:

* If a street has no ref, it can be found
* If a street has a ref that comes after its name, alphabetically, it 
can be found
* If a street has a ref that comes *before* its name, alphabetically, 
the street is *not* found.

So, in Ireland, the sort order seems to break individual streets. In 
Italy, I found that search was totally broken once a single street 
exhibiting the above problem was present in the map. I cannot explain 
the difference... but either way, the above points to a bug that should 
affect many countries (probably all countries).
