Add a new search feture for wikidata.

The idea is to improve the search feature on OpenStreetMap (OSM) by allowing users to search for Wikidata items using the QID. For example, if someone enters 'Q91' in the search prompt, they would see results related to statues, museums, and other items named after the person associated with that QID.

While at this, we could implement and expose a basic tag-based search:

  • amenity=restaurant - search for restaurants
  • amenity=restaurant outdoor=yes - search for restaurants with outdoor seating
  • name=* - places with names
  • name="this name contains spaces" note=* - specific name and any note tag
  • Q91 fixme=* - wikidata tagged places with a fixme tag

Hi all. @Zaczero I love your last proposal but why only basic tag-based search? imho OSM is a database so its website should have also an advance tag-based search tool to explore its massive database. can I suggest to add a button to switch between the basic and the advanced search, and in the advance search to substitute the search bar with a (search) query prompt, a la Overpass-turbo?
