All,

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

James,

This is a know issue in version 3.5.3 of the eSearch widget when you do not have a width attribute in the widget tag in your main config.xml.

So just add

<widget label="Enhanced Search" left="80" top="100" preload="open"
                icon="assets/images/i_search.png" width="400"
                config="widgets/eSearch/eSearchWidget.xml"
                url="widgets/eSearch/eSearchWidget.swf"/>

That did it, Thanks again!

Hello Robert,

I have developed a geoprocessing widget that creates a buffer around polyline segments, then clips features from one point and one polygon layer within the aforementioned buffer area. The clipped features, from the point and polygon layers, are added to the mapping application as operational layers.

Is it possible to configure the Enhanced Search Widget to search the geoprocessing results of the two layers that have been added to the mapping application as operational layers?

Thank you for your assistance.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Joshua,

Without customization to the widgets source code it will be very unlikely that you can configure the widget to work with the results from the geoprocessing widget.

JoshuaFarrow

Robert,

Thank you for your response.

I have successfully edited the Enhanced Search Widget in the past to search mapping applications where the layers were included on a REST service. In this instance, the geoprocessing results do not appear on the REST services site, within the Map or Feature Server, so I am unsure what URL to include in the ESW to search on.

Again, thank you for your help.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Joshua,

That is the exact issue. What the geoprocessing widget likely does is adds a feature layer to the map client side and thus does not have a url that could be used in the QueryTask.

How do I go about getting the dropdown for "Search Entities of:" populated? Right now, I have one layer on the Text Search tab and the user can pick one of the features within that layer from a dropdown populated using "uniquevalsfromfield". Then, I want them to be able to use the Spatial Search tab to be able to specify a buffer and choose a different layer (from a choice of two) and select any entities of that chosen layer that are within the buffer. Ideally, they would have the option to select "all" so that either of the two layers within the buffer are selected

Select instance of proposed linear project > Buffer linear project a specified distance > Select buildings, observation points, or both

Here is the code I have now that successfully creates the Text Search tab for proposed linear projects, and creates the Spatial Search tab but with only the proposed linear projects layer in the "Search Entities of" dropdown.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Matthew,

So you need to add the other two layer that you want to be able to search on using the spatial search like you did for the layer you attached. If you do not want those layers to appear in the text search then do not specify an expression but they must have the

 <spatialsearchlayer>true</spatialsearchlayer>

There is no current capability to have it search both layers at the same time.

All,

a new version has been released

Version 3.5.4 - 11/5/2013
* Fixed issue With dropdownlists sizes that was introduce in 3.5.3.

Using FlexViewer 3.4 with eSearch 3.4

I cannot get the following query to yield results:

<values>
      <value prompt="Species e.g. AC RU">maximo_production.dbo.GIS_Balances.speciescode = '[value]'</value>
      <value prompt="Height e.g. 8" isvaluerequired="false" operator="AND">maximo_production.dbo.GIS_Height.height &gt;= [value]</value>
      <value prompt="Diameter e.g. 2"  operator="AND" isvaluerequired="false">maximo_production.dbo.GIS_Diameter.diameter &gt;= [value]</value>-->
     </values>

When I try the following query in ArcGIS Desktop, I yield 3 results:

maximo_production.dbo.GIS_Balances.speciescode = 'AC SA' AND 
"maximo_production.dbo.GIS_Height.height" >= 5

Any suggestions?

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Simon,

Maybe this is just a type but what is the end comment doing in here (what I have in red)?

                    <values>
                        <value prompt="Species e.g. AC RU">maximo_production.dbo.GIS_Balances.speciescode = '[value]'</value>
                        <value prompt="Height e.g. 8" isvaluerequired="false" operator="AND">maximo_production.dbo.GIS_Height.height &gt;= [value]</value>
                        <value prompt="Diameter e.g. 2"  operator="AND" isvaluerequired="false">maximo_production.dbo.GIS_Diameter.diameter &gt;= [value]</value>-->
                    </values>

That was left over from when I commented the diameter line to see if that was causing the problem. I cleaned it up and I am still having an issue.

Attached is my full config (note that this is on dev server hence all the commented lines), let me know if you would like access to the map service and I will generate a token.

Simon,

Does the (simpler) "Row search" work?

SimonMorgan

Simon,

Yes, and in fact the species code search works just fine if I leave Height and Diameter blank.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Simon,

What are the field types for height and diameter?

The field type is double.

OK can you generate a short life token for me then?

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Simon,

Not sure which method you are using to generate the token but neither of them have worked for me. Are you choosing IP, HTTP Referrer or Request IP?

SimonMorgan

I was using HTTP referrer.

I unlocked the service in question, so it should work without a token now.

HiranDias

Hello Robert, i want to thank you for this new e-search version. But i have a question, can i populate a combo box with a specific query ? for example:

                          <expressions>
      <expression alias="Sismic" textsearchlabel="Select fields to search" isvaluerequired="true">
        <values>
                                       <value prompt="City" isvaluerequired="false" uniquevalsfromfield="City" operator="AND">City= '[value]'</value>

This will populate my combo box with all distinct values of city in my service, but i want just the cities that are in State='Rio de Janeiro', for example. Is it possible to make that ?

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Hiran,

No that is not an option at this time.

HiranDias

Hiran,

No that is not an option at this time.

Thanks Robert, i guess i will need to use java on my viewer or to create one service for each state.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Simon,

Not sure I understand why (right now) but when I removed the > and just used the greater than symbol in the XML it worked.

                <expression alias="Species Code Search" textsearchlabel="Search by species code">
                    <values>
                        <value prompt="Species e.g. AC RU">maximo_production.dbo.GIS_Balances.speciescode = '[value]'</value>
                        <value prompt="Height e.g. 8" isvaluerequired="false" operator="AND">maximo_production.dbo.GIS_Height.height >= [value]</value>
                        <value prompt="Diameter e.g. 2"  operator="AND" isvaluerequired="false">maximo_production.dbo.GIS_Diameter.diameter >= [value]</value>
                    </values>
                </expression>

There was also an issue with one of your fields (physcnt) attributes not have a space between it and the next attribute making it invalid xml syntax.

It still didn't work for me, I removed > and replaced with > in the first expression. I entered AC SA for species, 4 for height and left diameter blank, I also tried entering 0 for diameter.

What query did you try?

I am not sure what the issue with my physcnt field is, could you elaborate?

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Simon,

What query did you try?

"AC RU" and height of 5

I am not sure what the issue with my physcnt field is, could you elaborate?

Sure Notice the space that is missing between the alias and the gridfield attributes:

<field name="maximo_production.dbo.GIS_Balances.physcnt" visible="true" alias="Physical Count"gridfield="true" gridfieldonly="true"/>

AndyCowx1

Honestly, I'm not sure if this question is related to the Enhanced Search widget or not. I noticed that some of Robert's sample maps use picture marker symbols which looks cool. Is that feature provided by the ES widget or can I set up picture marker symbols independantly ?

If I can do it, where is the configuration set up ?

An example is shown below :

http://gis.calhouncounty.org/FlexViewer3.1/index.html?config=config-eSearch.xml&esearch=2&slayer=3&exprnum=1

Thanks

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Andy,

The Picture Marker symbols were just setup in ArcMap as you would normally and then the map was published as a map service. This capability has nothing to do with Flex or the eSearch Widget.
