<p>The Query Features button is labeled with a question mark, which makes it look like a help button:</p>
<p><a href="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1231218/34513883-56574604-f01f-11e7-8ce0-13c7335d3de6.png" target="_blank"><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1231218/34513883-56574604-f01f-11e7-8ce0-13c7335d3de6.png" alt="query" style="max-width:100%;"></a></p>
<p>Since iD places its help button in roughly the same spot, iD uses a bookmark-in-book icon, which is difficult to discern. <a href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/4650" class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load issue title" data-id="285623661" data-permission-text="Issue title is private" data-url="https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/4650">openstreetmap/iD#4650</a> would turn it into a question mark.</p>
<p>The query button’s function reminds me of click-to-select functions found in various developer tools, such as the Inspect Element function in browser DOM inspectors. In Firefox and Chrome, the button’s icon depicts an arrow cursor pointing at a box, while Safari uses a crosshair icon:</p>

<em>Inspect buttons in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari</em></p>
<p>In this context, I think the crosshair could be confused with geolocation, but the pointer arrow should be pretty self-explanatory.</p>
