Search Widget Searched Location Text

Question

In WAB the District Lookup Widget gives you an address in the map when you search. I'm trying to duplicate this with the Search widget in ExB online version. I'd be open to a custom widget also. I've seen a post or two that asks about this, but I have not found a definitive answer.

It seems like the Records created menu would be where the functionality is. I've read somewhere that you should check the box for Set as operational layers, which did not have any effect for me.

If the point layer does not contain address information, the address cannot be displayed in the popup.

However, you can add a locator source to the search widget, which will provide an address.

That gives me a pop-up, but it's of the point layer in the webmap, not an address. I actually have a Near Me widget which gives me all the info I need from the features. So, I'm just looking for the search widget to give me an address and that's it.

Hi @JaredPilbeam2 ,

Please try the following steps:

1. Update the search widget settings

2. Select the map widget, go to Options - Enable pop-up, and check the option "Show pop-up upon feature selection".

Please let me know if you have other problems.

Regards,
