[Feature Request] Ability to search features by their ids #90

Open ylinzhi opened 3 months ago

It would be great to search a specific feature by using feature id (e.g., '08a194dbad937fff046f9378a6d1b332'. It would help to zoom in to target investigation location more efficiently

This would be super useful but likely demands an external service that takes a GERS ID and returns the extent of a feature. makes sense to do alongside search/geocoding.

On the other hand, it should be possible now to put the "selected" feature state into the URL, alongside the position, for a URL like:

https://explore.overturemaps.org/#16/51.05/3.7303?gers=08a194dbad937fff046f9378a6d1b332

Agree with @bdon - general worldwide search of all GERS Ids isn't feasible, but we may be able to just 'search locally' with the data in front of the user.

I have created #115 to track @bdon's suggestion about keeping the selected id in the url.
