Forgott to send it to the list, yesterday. ;-)

The routes plugin works this way. Here is an Example of the routes.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<routes xmlns="http://www.example.org/routes"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.example.org/routes routes.xsd ">
<!-- pattern is the same pattern as used in SearchAction -->
       <layer name="Cycle routes">
               <route color="#FF00FF">
                       <pattern>
                       (type:way (ncn=* | (lcn=* | rcn=* ))) |
(type:relation type=route
route=bicycle)
                       </pattern>
               </route>
       </layer>
</routes>

The search for  user names is broken, but should work. I am going to
open a trac ticket.
