Nominatim fails to find car_sharing node

I added several car_sharing nodes in Ithaca, NY, e.g. node 1224786270. Searching for "car share near ithaca" and similar search queries do not yield results on Nominatim. I initially suspected that this might be an issue with the lag in updates in Nominatim. But since Nominatim appears to be mostly up-to-date now, this does cannot be the underlying cause. The forced indexing of nodes, as described on the Nominatim wiki page, only produces "Unable to connect to the database" errors. The nodes do get rendered just fine.

"car share" was not in the list of special search words (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim/Special_Phrases), "car sharing" was. I've added "car share" to the list and it now works:
