I changed the default Geocoding Service (Utility Service) on our ArcGIS Portal (10.3) to point at a service that we host on one of the Federated ArcGIS Servers for Portal. This new geocoding service works within a map in Portal and the directions Widget as well as locally within ArcMap but it doesn't work on Collector. I don't receive an error when searching in Collector for an address or location it just returns "No Results Found" for all/any search I attempt. I'm even searching simple specific names which should return a result. Anyone have trouble using a custom geocoding service in Collector?
Are you seeing this on iOS and Android? composite geocoders should work... if you do the same search through the REST endpoint or if you track the network on the search in AGOL look at the candidate match score and what is the value you see returned.
It will look something like this:

Collector doesn't support offline custom coder.
In some sense, feature search is similar to geocoder. Collector support offline feature search
are you able to take your custom geocoder offline with collector?
Okay, I did some more testing. Not search I am doing exactly what you asked but I tested the rest endpoint "Find Address Candidates" from the iPhone and successfully used the locator via the browser (Safari). It located a feature called Batt 1. I also searched for addresses successfully. Interesting that the rest endpoint for "Geocode Addresses" returns "Unable to complete operation" but the "Find Address Candidates" works successfully. Screen shots below of the results.
Results from Find Address Candidates (same result on iPhone as on desktop)
Results from Geocode Addresses (same result on iPhone as on desktop)
Thanks Russ, hadn't done that yet, I'll check out your suggestion. Also, I'm on an iPhone 5, iOS 8.3, Collector 10.3.1 and Portal for ArcGIS 10.3.1
Hey Russell,
It is shared to everyone on the portal, both via the sharing properties on ArcServer Manager and the Portal interface. I have a ticket in with Esri Support and the first (email) question they had for me was is it a Composite Locator. I responded that yes it is a Composite Address Locator but they haven't replied back. Would this be the issue, does Collector not cooperate with Composite Address Locators?
Thanks much for your help, as always
Is the geocoding item that is being used in your portal shared to the entire portal and not just to the Admin account?
I have had the same issue within Collector as well as Explorer for ArcGIS. Not sure if its just not compatible with custom address locators?
