Better search results for "street"

[matkoniecz]

Describe the bug

New mappers wanting to map regular street (which may be say highway=residential or unclassified are likely to search for "street"

Search results are not great in such case

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Use English-language browser
2. Create line
3. search for object type

Expected behavior

highway=residential or unclassified are among top matches

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Additional context

Someone else spotted it some time ago (user cropped, not sure would they want to appear here)

Not sure what will be the best fix. Add "street" to aliases/search terms for residential, unclassified and maybe service? Any other road types?

This issue is a follow-up on https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/5103 (2018).

I have personally found this mapping mistake is/was common in at least Morocco. (where this classification might not exist)

There has been at least one case mentioned in a discussion where many residential streets were incorrectly tagged as living street while having no explicit signage for the classification but it is unclear if it is because of the presentation of this preset.
