[openstreetmap-website] Search: I'm feeling lucky (#1039)

[Tom Hughes]

Well (a) we're not google and (b) as much as anything I was referring to your proposed trigger mechanism not the general idea.

To my mind this is an end user "feature" not a "mapper" feature and as such out of scope.

In any case triggering it with magic syntax is insane. If we were going to do it then it would have to be a separate button, but that has a high cost in screen real estate that I don't think we want to pay.

Yes of course I could just leave this open - it's not like anybody is actually going to anything about it anyway. But I'm really fed up with the hundreds of wishlist items in our bug tracker that nobody is ever going to implement. Leaving it open it doesn't help you (because nobody's going to magically implement it as a result) and it doesn't help us (because it reduces the signal to noise ratio).
