Actually that's exactly what I wanted, thanks for the hint! I just wasn't expecting to find it under the "search" function - I have mostly used OSMAnd until now, and I only learned of Organic Maps through HN and installed it a few weeks ago, same as the author of the blog post. Even better, the search function also has a "categories" tab where you can select "places to eat", "sights", "transport", "petrol", "parking", "ATM" etc. Looks like they put a lot of thought into "streamlining" the UI, and the individual functions are more versatile than you might expect...
