If I search for river with Nominatim , I obtain all the features where there is 
river in the name.

It would be interesting to have a syntax similar to Xapi and Overpass to be 
able to search for specific tag (ie. amenity=school).

Nice.

It seems though they are reported in the same way in the results lists 
as river lines with 'River' which makes them hard to identify.  In 
principle i would have four major classes for water features:

* standing water areas (natural=water + water!=river/channel)
* flowing water areas (waterway=riverbank or natural=water + 
water=river/channel)
* waterways (waterway tag but not waterway=riverbank)
* waterway relations
