I think this is style dependant? I get 50% rubbish right now - (as

Yes I do see quite a lot of things that shouldn't be there, up to 50%
I would agree.

  
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, .......
    

Well as far as I can tell most or all of those things can't be in the 
index anyway, and also only things that have names are included.
So once it is fully working I think it will be just fine.  But
lets wait until then and see.

  
Hmm, what is if you add names via style-file?  Will they then show up (this could be of good use, and also of bad use...)
Currently I get many showing up WITHOUT name however too:





  
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)
    

Yes I think we know enough to add these, so that should happen fairly 
quickly, barring unforeseen problems.
