Are you searching a FeatureLayer source or just the world geo Oder?

Anjelina,

Well that is something you would have to report to your local esri tech support then. I would think that other non English users would have reported an issue this this already if there was a major bug like that though.

I,m using search sample code and looking for a setting that search tools find similar words and list those. after list result choose every one related to her(him) search. for example I have 3 words in my database:

1- book man

2- book 2

3- booker

I need a setting that when a client write "book", the list of 3 record show and user choose every one...

Anjelina,

Search widget suggestions only works for FeatureLayer Sources 10.3 or higher:

10.3 feature layer that supports pagination, i.e. supportsPagination = true.
