How to dynamically change display field for suggestions in search widget?

AMostafaH — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 07:59:03 GMT

I got a problem in search widget which is when searching the displayed field for the suggestions does not match the field matched with search term.

Is there a way to handle it using displayField or suggestionTemplate property?

I'm using version 4.28.

Thanks in advance.

Make sure to change includeDefaultSources to false. I also make sure my sources searchFields, outFields, and diplayField are all the same.

const searchWidget = new Search({ view: theView, searchAllEnabled: true, maxResults: 10000000, maxSuggestions: 10000000, title: "Quick Parcel Search", label: "Quick Parcel Search", includeDefaultSources: false, locationEnabled: false, exactMatch: false, sources: [ { layer: parcelLayer, searchFields: ["PartyName_1"], name: "Search by Owner", exactMatch: false, outFields: ["PartyName_1"], displayField: "PartyName_1", }, { layer: parcelLayer, searchFields: ["PropertyAddress"], name: "Search by Address", exactMatch: false, outFields: ["PropertyAddress"], displayField: "PropertyAddress", }, { layer: parcelLayer, searchFields: ["QuickRefID"], name: "Search by Quick Reference ID", exactMatch: false, outFields: ["QuickRefID"], displayField: "QuickRefID", } ], });

If I did so, the same layer will appear many times in the suggestions list and I don't want that to happen.

I believe the best way is to use suggestionTemplate property and add all fields used in the searchFields property.

I will attach pictures for your scenario.

Thanks.
