With this overpass query http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/ip you can see all
streets with name:left tag.
I noticed there is one near Mol (Bronstraat, Hofstede) without a name tag,
only name:left and name:right. Searching for those streets in Nominatim
returns no answer (for that street).
So my advice is to add a name tag as well. (Yes, I know do not tag for the
renderer, but using an undocumented tag, which is not recognized by
Nominatim is pretty useless  (even when it's used > 23.000 time -- see
taginfo))
