Interesting! This can actually be already used as the modRana address search functionality feeds the search query directly to Nominatim.

I've tried to search for "staveniště Brno" ("construction site Brno" in Czech) and it indeed returned various active or recently active construction sites in the city of Brno!

So I guess a documentation update is needed to make the modRana users aware of this (or any other useful) features of the Nominatim search service. I'll add a note to the modRana wiki page, but I think some sort of short in-application help text with tips and tricks for searching would also be nice and not that difficult to add.
