Search widget to search all results not filtered records based on map extent

Tiff

In my app I have editing widgets, feature layer table, filters, and a search widget. In my search widget I want to search based on an identifier for all features in the feature layer. My table and thus the layer (default view) is set to dynamically update based on the map extent. This means that when I zoom into the map, I can only search for features that are showing in that map. How can I get the search to work independently from the filtered data and what are the best practices for setting this kind of behavior at the outset?

This is what Data Views are for. You can set your Search Widget to a Data View with all of the features in the layer while the rest of the application is set on the Default View to handle the current interactivity.

In the Search Widget, when you select your data source use the dropdown menu and select Create a view.

Then add a Data View that will contain all of your data, like OBJECTID is not blank.

And go back to the dropdown menu to select your newly created Data View.
