[Openstreetmap-dev] Another 0.3 API request.... search facility

[Nick Whitelegg]

Another 0.3 API request came to mind just now.... a search facility, by
key.

This would take the key to search on and the search string, and return a
list of nodes or segments which match the search string.

e.g

searchnodes?key=name&searchstring=Red Lion&bbox=-1.5,50.5,-1,51

would return all nodes called Red Lion in that bounding box.

searchnodes?key=class&searchstring=pub&bbox=-1.5,50.5,-1,51

would return all nodes with the 'class' key equal to 'pub' in that bounding
box.

searchnodes?key=class,name&searchstring=pub,Red Lion&bbox=....

would return all pubs called Red Lion in that bounding box.
