It seems to be a great tool but the ability to search within tag values would be nice. For example I wanted to find how I should tag a supermarket so I type 'supermarket' into the search box. As you can see [1] the only match it finds is for the _key_ 'supermarket' which is an extremely uncommon tag with only three uses [2]. Now, since I know that really the tag to use is shop=supermarket I searched for shop [3] and as it turns out, supermarket is the most common value for the shop tag [4]. An awesome tool though, good work!
