     8**Search [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object objects] in the current data layer using query language**. \\
     9This windows has different looks, depending on your [[JOSMImage(expert)]] [wikitr:/Help/ExpertMode Expert Mode] setting, [#ExpertMode see below]:

     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.

     18== Expert mode ==#ExpertMode
     19In [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.

     27== Examples ==#Examples
    928Some examples of queries:
    10 
    1129* `type:way` selects all ways
    1230* `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`
    1334* `type:way name:-` selects all ways that do not have a name
    1435* `id:123465678` selects an object (way or node) with a particular id
    1536* `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]

    17 There is also a very under-used and under-documented feature that lets you enter a web URL (`file://`, `http://`, `https://`, `ftp://`)
    18 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
    19 look for XML tags "way", "node", and "relation" in the document, and use their id attribute. This means you can
    20 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
     41To ''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.
    2142
    22 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].

     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).
