One idea I have here:

Add all words indexable except they are "Street", "Avenue", "Road"
or whatever else we have in the world which is part of nearly every
street in a country. And Ignore all words which contains only 3 or
less letters (Rd, Ave, Str, ...).

I think this would be a great help if you search for a street.
