Local Nominatim Server Less Accurate Than OpenStreetMaps API?

My local server doesn't return results for an address as simple as "Dalgety Bay, GB", whereas the OpenStreetMaps API is able to pick that up. It can read "Dalgety Bay, UK", however. I've imported the entire planet data, tuned the database, employed all the strategies from the Installation Guide. Any guidance here would be appreciated.

Next day you posted https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/76736/nominatim-server-on-gcp-vm-stalls-when-doing-batch-geocoding-through-multiprocessing so I assume this is solved?

Not resolved. But ignored for now.

GB is one of the country codes. They are normally added to the word list together with all the other default country names when running: ./utils/setup.php --create-country-names

Normally the command is run as part of the import process. However, given that you restarted the indexing process, you probably accidentally skipped it. Just rerun the command. There is no harm in running it multiple times on the database.
