| | 13 | * Hover over a keyword in the search hints section to get a explanation and special examples. |

| | 40 | == Save search query in [wikitr:/Help/MainToolbar main toolbar] ==#SavesearchqueryinMaintoolbar |
| | 41 | To ''save search as a button'' if you check **add toolbar button** checkbox, as soon as you click on [[JOSMImage(dialogs/search)]] **Start Search**, a button will be added to the main toolbar. which will execute the defined search expression each time, you press the button. |
| 16 | | There is also a very under-used and under-documented feature that lets you enter a web URL (file://, http://, https://, ftp://) |
| 17 | | in the search field. JOSM will then attempt to load that URL, and select any objects that it finds referenced in that file. JOSM will |
| 18 | | look for XML tags "way", "node", and "relation" in the document, and use their id attribute. This means you can |
| 19 | | access another OSM file on your hard disk this way and have JOSM select all objects that are present in the file (provided they are present in JOSM's dataset too). |
| | 43 | * [[JOSMImage(preferences/toolbar,link=,24,middle)]] [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Toolbar#Previouslysavedsearchresults Toolbar Customization] will let you modify icon, search query and tooltip. |
| | 44 | * As with any button you can always assign a shortcut to it in [[JOSMImage(preferences/shortcuts,link=,24,middle)]] [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Shortcuts Shortcut Preferences]. |
