A Better Search Field for OpenStreetMap

Web site search fields are weirdo UI elements. They usually give you no clues as to what to enter, so you’re left to your own devices. Do I enter a question phrase? A keyword or two? Getting to the right information using a search box is still not very straightforward. This is the reason why people don’t use them very often. Navigating a menu structure or site map is usually quicker and requires less thinking.
