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)
