It's most likely that the extract was cut a bit tight and didn't include the full state boundary. You can add it to your database after the import like this: * Find the relation of Pennsylvania on the osm website and note the ID (it's that http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/162109) * Import the relation to your database like that: ./utils/update.php --import-relation 162109 --index * Verify that you can find the state now and it will give you back the relation. Sometimes OSM data gets broken and then this part will fail. * When all is well, you have to reindex everything. Mark for indexing: psql -d nominatim -c "select place_force_update(place_id) from placex where osm_type = 'R' and osm_id = 162109" And reindex: ./utils/update.php --index --index-instances 2 The last part is really slow, I' m afraid. You can also simply reimport the database with an extract that is a bit larger than the state you need.
