Search for a named building somewhere off the visible map area and iD zooms in to a level suitable to fill as much as possible of the map area with the building. I just tried with a typical house and got level 22. This is good. Maybe a little high, but I can see something sensible has been returned and change the zoom as necessary.
Now do the same for a named node. Such as Cardigan (a town in Cardigan, Wales). Zoom level is 24 and all that can be seen is a vague blur of background imagery zoomed far beyond what is sensible, with a few segments of ways that could be anything. Only at zoom level 22 does it start to become intelligible.
I suggest limiting the zoom to 22 (maybe even 21) when the search result is a node. Maybe even lower than that, because some nodes do not make much sense without more surrounding context. A level 24 zoom just leaves people wondering what has gone wrong because everything is a blur. It's even worse for St Dogmaels (a village in Pembrokeshire, Wales), which is in the middle of a field and probably ought to be moved closer to the centre of the village.
