How can I search for a ref?

1

I would like to find a particular bicycle rental node on the map, similar to https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4949496890 but with ref=0067.

Is this something that the site search can do? Is there an advanced search interface somewhere?

The Wizard interface on Overpass Turbo splits the difference between simplicity and power. Here's your ref using the Wizard:

http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/qCV

The global in the Wizard input tells Overpass Turbo not to insert any geographic bounds into the Overpass script.

Great, that's exactly the kind of interface I was looking for, thanks!

But remember there are other ref's as well :-(

Yes, to be sure to find bicycle rental nodes only, you'll want to enter "type:node & amenity=bicycle_rental & ref=0067 global" into the wizard. If you know roughly where it is, you can drop the "global" and just point the window to the right area.
