Description
In the search-field colons are special characters, so all keys containing colons need to be enclosed into quotation marks.
The problem is that we use ":" as THE name-space-separator in OSM and many keys contains it.
And all those special-target-strings makes generating usable search-strings even more complicated!
My suggestion to improve the usability of the search-window for end-users:
Keep the default search window and rename "Please enter a search string." to "key/value search string:"
Add CheckBoxes:
- ( ) invert search
- Type: (X) node (X) way (X) relation
Add LineEdit:
- Username: "*"
Add SpinBoxes
- OSM-Object-id: "0" (0 means any, NoButtons)
- Member count: "0" (0 means any, UpDownArrows)
Add RadioButtons:
| only | exclude | inactive | |
| children | ( ) | ( ) | (X) |
| parents | ( ) | ( ) | (X) |
| modified | ( ) | ( ) | (X) |
| selected | ( ) | ( ) | (X) |
| incomplete | ( ) | ( ) | (X) |
| untagged | ( ) | ( ) | (X) |
