As for the other search options, address search is using Nominatim (so it is based on OSM data) and Wikipedia search goes over Geonames.
I'm very familiar with osm, and the tags. I also know nominatim and the osm api xapi and overpass api. So i will be glad to help in defining a preset list or any other task
