[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Feature request: search for place near map center/in map range (#1617)

OSM's search box often returns street names from all over the world (try "Main Street"), which is usually inconvenient for users who just want to look around themselves' current map view. Typing the city name after the search query helps, but it gets clumsy on phones which gets slow to type.

This problem may be helped by providing an option for search queries to be related to the current map view, be it some "in current view" (bounding box?) setting or a "sort by distance from current map center" option.
