How to set zoom level for search results with a polygon Feature Layer

KimberlyGraham1 — Thu, 19 May 2016 17:25:31 GMT

I am using 3.16 API to create an application that searches our local parcel layers using a custom search - I am quite new at Java Script. The layer is a polygon Feature Layer. I am only finding information that tells you how to set the zoomLevel using points - is it not possible to create a custom zoom extent for polygon Feature Layers? I would like it to not zoom in nearly as far as it does as the output we want to see would be in relation to other buildings.

Thanks!

Kimberly,

Unfortunately the zoom for a feature that returns an extent is not configurable. You would have to turn off the autoNavigate and then add your own zooming logic to a custom select-result event handler.

Thank you for your response! I figured it was something along those lines; unfortunately, that's a bit above me at the moment so we will just have to have our users manually zoom out until I can get figure out how to do all that.

I have a somewhat followup question. I have a map where I want residents to be able to search for their address and have it highlight in the map. If I turn off that autoNavigate you mentioned above, that will stop the widget from zooming to the result? How do I turn off the autoNavigate feature?

Roxanne,

Yes it will.

      var search = new Search({
        map: map,
        autoNavigate: false
      }, "search");
