Ah, I wasn’t using the Identify page; I forget it has different functionality than the Explore page.
Is it possible to use Identify to search a custom area (i.e. a box or a circle on a map)? I can’t seem to figure out how to do that. I tried pasting the URL data generated by an area-bound search in Explore into the URL for the Identify search, but many of the results I got seemed to be well outside the area I’m looking at (which is not a Place and doesn’t correspond to any interestingly distinct area that I’m aware of, it’s just a guesstimate of what’s in walking range for me of a particular starting point).
