Searching esriFieldTypeDouble

PL1

I am using Arcgis API for Javascript version 4.21.2.

My problem is that I cannot search my feature layers columns that are declared as esriFieldTypeDouble. The declaration has been made in my Mapserver and therefore I can't change the typing. Numbers, declared as esriFieldTypeString can be used in the search, for example ID is a string.

How is it possible to search these columns by using the Search Widget?

I am using the search widget. I also updated my version to the current version 4.24.

Here is a snippet on how I create a search source. I even modified it that only the coordinate (an esriFieldTypeDouble) is the only searchable field.

 

  function addToSearchSources(featureLayer: FeatureLayer) {

    const searchSource = new LayerSearchSource({
      layer: featureLayer,
      searchFields: ['NORTHING_ORIGINAL'],
      displayField: featureLayer.displayField,
      exactMatch: false,
      outFields: ["*"],
      name: featureLayer.title,
      placeholder: featureLayer.title,
      suggestionsEnabled: true,
    })
    console.log('searchSource.searchFields', searchSource.searchFields)
    search.sources.add(searchSource);
  }

 

The logging returns the correct value, NORTHING_ORIGINAL which is a double. But for some reason I am not able to use columns with double values in search.
