v14 v59 1 [[TranslatedPages(outdated=This page needs a review and more context. A screenshot and a list of expressions would be useful.)]] 1 [[TranslatedPages]] 2 [[PageOutline(2-4,Table of Content)]] 2 3 3 4 = Search = 4 5 5 [[ Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/search.png,middle)]] ''Keyboard shortcut'':'''{{{Ctrl+F}}}'''6 [[JOSMImage(dialogs/search,link=,48,middle,margin-right=20)]] ''Keyboard shortcut'': **`Ctrl+F`** 6 7 7 '''Search [wiki:/Help/Concepts/Object objects] in the current data layer''' 8 **Search [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object objects] in the current data layer using query language**. \\ 9 This windows has different looks, depending on your [[JOSMImage(expert)]] [wikitr:/Help/ExpertMode Expert Mode] setting, [#ExpertMode see below]: 8 10 11 * The search action will respect the current [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/Filter filters] meaning it wouldn't return any of the filtered objects. 12 * Colons (`:`) within ''keys'' and ''values'' need to be wrapped with quotation marks (`"`). 13 * Hover over a keyword in the search hints section to get a explanation and special examples. 14 * Double click on a preset listed in the search window to add the query to search for objects that match this preset. 15 16 [[Image(Search.png,link=,70%)]] 17 18 == Expert mode ==#ExpertMode 19 In [wikitr:/Help/ExpertMode expert mode], the following options are added: 20 * more keywords are listed (they work also in non-expert mode, but are hidden in the dialog) 21 * **standard/regular expression/MapCSS selector** radio button, see sections below for details 22 * **all objects** check box to include **''deleted''** and **''incomplete''** objects in the search 23 * **add toolbar button** see [wikitr:/Help/Action/Search#SavesearchqueryinMaintoolbar save search query in main toolbar] below. 24 25 [[Image(Search_expert.png,link=,70%)]] 26 27 == Examples ==#Examples 9 28 Some examples of queries: 10 11 29 * `type:way` selects all ways 12 30 * `name:Herrengasse` selects all elements with the given name 31 * `name=Herrengasse` same as above, but case sensitive 32 * `"addr:street"="Baker Street"` if special characters (in this case `:` in the key and white space in the value) are used, the key resp. the value needs to be enclosed in `""` 33 * `tag1=yes tag2=yes` is equivalent to `tag1=yes & tag2=yes` 13 34 * `type:way name:-` selects all ways that do not have a name 14 35 * `id:123465678` selects an object (way or node) with a particular id 36 * `timestamp:2010-11-01/2010-12-01` selects object with last change in November 2010 37 * `preset:"Craft/Beekeeper"` selects objects that match the beekeeper preset 38 * See also [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/Filter#Examples Examples] 15 39 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). 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. 20 42 21 The special expressions `selected` and `modified` select all currently selected resp. all objects modified in the current session. 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]. 22 45 23 More examples are [osmwiki:JOSM_search_function here] 46 == Regular expressions == 47 JOSM supports [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html Java regex syntax]. 24 48 25 == = [ExpertMode Expert Mode] ===#ExpertMode26 S ome examples are only shown in expert mode.49 == MapCSS syntax == 50 See [wikitr:/Help/Styles/MapCSSImplementation MapCSS implementation] 27 51 52 == Fetch external file and replace selection ==#Fetchexternalfileandreplaceselection 53 A very under-used feature that lets you enter a web URL (`file://`, `http://`, `https://`, `ftp://`) in the search field. 28 54 29 == Regular Expressions == 30 JOSM supports Java Regex. For detailed Information see http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html 55 * JOSM will then attempt to load that URL, and select any objects that it finds referenced in that file. 56 * JOSM will look for XML tags "way", "node", and "relation" in the document (clarify? examples?), and use their id attribute . 57 * You can 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). 31 58 59 Similar thing is possible via: 60 * [wikitr:/Help/CommandLineOptions Command line parameter] during JOSM start-up 61 * [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/RemoteControl Remote control] command 32 62 33 63 == See also == 34 * [ wiki:/Help/Concepts/Object Objects]64 * [[JOSMImage(dialogs/filter)]] [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/Filter Filters] allow you to save and combine multiple search patterns between your JOSM sessions 35 65 36 66 ---- 37 Back to [wiki:/Help/Menu/Edit Menu Edit][[Br]] 38 Back to [wiki:/Help Main Help] 67 Back to [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Edit Menu Edit] \\ 68 Back to [wikitr:/Help/Menu Main Menu] \\ 69 Back to [wikitr:/Help Main Help]
