Nominatim import data granularity

Hello,

When importing OSM data into one's own Nominatim DB, is there a way to configure the level of granularity of geographic data to support in it? I'd really benefit from cutting import times if that's so, since I can do with a much coarser resolution in search results for my use case. I really only need city-level responses, but I'm not even sure if that makes sense conceptually.

Thank you!
