All,

Here is a new thread to post questions and discuss the Enhanched Search Widget. The old thread was getting too long.

Hi Robert,

We at our company are very sorry that QueryBuilder is no longer developed. We used it a lot.
You wrote that the use of eSearch is recommended instead, but I can't find a way to configure
it to work like QueryBuilder. My users want to create their own custom queries and they can not
do that in eSearch. Is there a way to use eSearch like QueryBuilder or could you recommend a widget
that works similar to QueryBuilder and is actively developed?
Thank you in advance.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Kummer,

eSearch is not like QueryBuilder in the fact that, like you said it does not allow the user to build a query using a GUI. The eSearch Widget does allow for open SQL statement where the user Manually types the whole where clause, including field names and operators. There is not another widget out there that is actively supported that has the features of QueryBuilder widget. The market is very small for a widget that does what QueryBuilder does, so I have not plans for adding this sort of capabilities. The focus of RIA applications is for the user to have little, to no knowledge of GIS, so a widget that is developed for GIS savvy people is not the greatest fit for RIA development.

Using your eSearch Widget v3.6. I use Flash Builder and the uncompiled widget, though I haven't changed the widget in any way other than esearchwidget.xml

I am wondering if there is a way to turn off or disable graphical and spatial search. I'd like to only have the text search.

I've noticed the <keepgraphicalsearchenabled> tag but I'm not sure what this does as it doesn't seem to disable it.

Thanks,

-Joshua

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Joshua,

Disabling buttons is covered in the Enhanced Search Widget XML Configuration.pdf look for "disablebuttons"

JoshuaWhitener

Oversight, thanks.

All,

A new version is available:

Version 3.6.4 - 3/3/2014
* Fixed issue with field formatting not staying specific to the field it was set for.
* csv and txt exports now export proper linefeed based on OS.
* Added exportnumbersasformattedstrings attribute to enableexport tag. See pdf for explanation.
* Added popuplinktype attribute to link tag. See pdf for explanation.

Do you plan to integrate this widget into the app builder as you did with the Identify widget?

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Nick,

Yes. I have added SO MANY configurable options over the years that it is just a beast to do. I am about 8,000 lines of code into this development and have quite a few more configurable options to add yet....

NicholasMcNamara

I thought you were heading in that direction. Do you have a rough estimate of when you'll be coming out with that - 3 months, 6 months, a year?

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Nick,

Hmm... That is a tough one. I had been working on it hard for several weeks and then got burned out. I shelved it for many months and I just now started back on it this week. I am probably 2/3 done but with Dev Summit next week and such it won't stay a priority to long. The hope is 3 months or less.

Hi Robert,

Can you see any reason why this code wouldn't provide many results? No matter what I try it only ever returns one result.
This is the 3.4 version of the eSearch widget. I'm using the 2.4 version as well and it works well and returns many results. I've run the same query in ArcMAP and in the rest endpoint. Always returns multiple results. Just not in the viewer. Thanks,

Greg

Greg,

So are you saying the my old 2.4 version of the eSearch returns all the records and the 3.4 does not and both are hitting the same server and service?

DerekHunter1

Robert,

Thank you for all you contribute.

Is it possible for the Spatial Search portion of the widget to zoom to all results rather than to the first result?

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Derek,

Currently no there is no configuration for this. I will look into it.

DilsonKitoko

Hi All,

Is it possible to perform a search in all layers? I want to make a query to all avaliable layers in mapservice.

Thanks in advance!

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Dilson,

Nope. That is what the Identify Widget is for.

DilsonKitoko

Dilson,

Nope. That is what the Identify Widget is for.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your prompt reply. Just one mor question...On graphical search is it possible to remove the buffer graphic, units and enable mult-part graphics Boxes?

I tried using:

        <enablebuffergraphicbutton>false</enablebuffergraphicbutton>
        <enablemultigraphicssearch>false</enablemultigraphicssearch>
        <enablegraphicsbuffering>false</enablegraphicsbuffering>
        <multipartgraphicsearch>false</multipartgraphicsearch>

But none of them works.

Thanks,

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Dilson,

I just tested all those tags and they work fine. Are you sure that you cleared your browsers cache?

DilsonKitoko

Dilson,

Robert,

Yes, I've cleaned the cache, but nothing change. I will keep trying until figure out what I missing.

Thanks,

MarciaElam

Derek,

Currently no there is no configuration for this. I will look into it.

Thanks Robert.

In addition, I am having a very difficult time getting my search result features to be highlighted. My symbols are as:
   <symbols>
        <simplefillsymbol color="0x00ffff" alpha="0.5">
            <outline color="0xff0000" alpha="0.8" width="2" />
        </simplefillsymbol>
        
        <simplemarkersymbol style="square" size="12" color="0xff0000" alpha="0.5"
            xoffset="0" yoffset="0" angle="0"> <outline style="solid" color="0x000000"
            alpha="1" width="1"/>
        </simplemarkersymbol>
        
        <simplelinesymbol color="0xff0000" alpha="0.8" width="2" />
    </symbols>

Maybe i am missing something very simple?

RobertScheitlin__GISP

dwhthe3rd,

Can you be more specific? Do you mean that are getting no symbology for the results or the subselectin color?

DilsonKitoko

Hi Robert,

I forgot to mention that I'm currently working on flex 2.5. I thinks that's teh reason that the tags are not working,

Thanks,

MarciaElam

dwhthe3rd,

Meaning I get results, but the actual geometries do not highlight when you select the record in the results. So, if the user searches and returns 100 well points among thousands of wells, the user can't tell graphically which wells are part of the search results.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Marcia,

So the way the widget works is that once a search is completed th widget displays the results in the widget results view and when you click on one of those results it will zoom you to that result. If you hve set the layers symbology in the layer tag (as covered in the the extensive pdf documentation), then your symbology for the search results will show as what ever you configured (most of the time people set it to something different than the layers symbology that is already displaying in the map for that layer). If you have made the mistake of providing the wrong symbology type of that layers geometry type (i.e you are search a point layer and you have the layer symbology set to SimpleFillSymbol for a polygon) than it will not draw anything on the map. If you are using the fixed of floating datagrid with the widget than you will also get the option of using the datagrids subselection color (all of this is covered in the pdf and their are examples in the eSearchWidget.xml that is packaged with the widget download).

Greg,

So are you saying the my old 2.4 version of the eSearch returns all the records and the 3.4 does not and both are hitting the same server and service?

Correct. In fact, i have both applications published on the same server, looking at the same data/services. I can test them side by side and get different results. 2.4 returns many, 3.4 returns only one. It seems to be respecting the "like" part of the sql statement as I do not have to enter the full ID. I tested it with a variety of layers and only ever get one result.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Greg,

Well I have no explaination for that. I have never seen that issue and have never had anyone report it thoughout all the versions in between 2.4 and 3.6... If you service is public it would help me diagnose the issue.

Ok, well, I'll keep pressing on. I just tested the ESRI search widget with the same services and same query and get many results.
Must be somewhere else in the xml that I've messed up.

Thanks,

Greg

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Greg,

I can take a look at your xml if you want me to.
