Search features in Collector

Question

We have a map in Collector that we use for field work, and we have a few features that are supposed to be searchable by Facility ID. We can't seem to get it all working properly, though. We can search for water meters, for example, but not for hydrants, valves, or manholes. We have it all those layers as searchable in the webmap settings, so why is only one of them searchable?

Could you share with me what you are doing here, and I can try to reproduce it. For example, you download a map area (do you define it, or is it defined as part of the map?) -- then searches work, until changes are sync'ed, and then searches no longer work on the same device? Do they still work on other devices for that map?

Thanks!

I had my reset and lose the layer all the time also.

Yes, we did. We have 4 layers that are searchable in the web map settings, but only the first one seems to be searchable in Collector. I removed all of them and added them back, and then they're all searchable in Collector, but only until they sync the offline map again. I don't know what's going on.
