JOSM search and filter expressions
JOSM search is a fairly advanced system which first takes your string, compiles it into a tree structure and runs that over the data. At the base level there are matching tokens, which can then be combined to form complex searches. To access the search dialog, press Ctrl-F, or click the Edit menu, then Search.
There is provision for case-sensitive matches, directly activated from the search dialog.
