Preset search bar could show "tips" for certain keywords

[tyrasd]

There even exist some mapping mistakes which could be alleviated by not offering a preset for certain search keywords in the preset bar, and instead showing a hint message instead. For example (see openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema#354), courtyard matches a preset but most often a courtyard should be mapped as a whole in a building polygon instead. I'm sure there exist more non-features which could be relatively easily catched at that stage as well (pokemon go gyms could be an example).

Somehow related: Currently, iD tries very hard to offer a preset for basically any search term: For example, until recently, the presets didn't include a term for a spillway, but the search still resulted in some unrelated results (see screenshot):

While this is not harmful in most cases, it would be even better to include a generic hint here which could explain that the tagging presets in iD are not exhaustive and perhaps indicate the users to consider the OSM wiki to find the correct tagging.

And this hint would be ranked so it would be below strong matches, right? And appear on top only if nothing really matches?

Maybe even have link to iD tagging preset issue tracker? This may result in a flood of issues and may need to be taken down - but could be good idea. Also openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema#237 (now fixed) is going to be my favorite example of string match going wrong

All I know is I searched

but didn't find https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dcourtyard
so had to enter it manually, upon which

showed up, and I then saved my edit.

Nowhere in the process did any hint of why things were made intentionally difficult was shown to the user (me).
