[question] overpass expressions?

[govvin]

I just noticed how you can try to find some cool features thru the searchbox.

For example historic=, to show features in the viewport that's been tagged with historic=

How do I combine this, for example: historic=* and tourism=* to find any feature having both tags?

If you are only interested in one key you can enter key=* or key=
For a key value pair you can use key=value
For anything more complex then that you can create a custom query with the prefix op:
It will be inserted into this overpass query:

[out:json][timeout:25][bbox:bbox];
(
	${query};
);
out geom qt;

So for your usecase of finding historic=* and tourism=* you need to enter this:

op:nwr[historic][tourism]

Update: I did implement the historic=* and tourism=* way of doing things and now that is also supported

As an idea for the future:
We could start to support the syntax of the overpass query wizard, e.g. historic=* and tourism=*

While trying out that expression, I wonder whether in the future it would be possible to export the results as a GPX, or KMZ (among other formats) that can then be saved and used in the user's phone (e.g. OsmAnd or Organic Maps).

Not sure if that's in scope, but an example use case might be: a user visiting an area, and wondering what historic buildings they can try to visit.

I don't think this falls in this projects scopes, afterall there is overpass turbo if you need that.
Potentially we could put a download link into the green toast that appears after a successful request.

Wild idea: We could connect searchbox with AI to generate overpass queries easily 😀

Or, make it possible to easily share queries that will run based on users location?

I think we can close it, your question is answered and now the new query wizard is also implemented.
Feel free to reopen :)
