Search widget: Action 'Show on Map' for custom search source

KatharinaJacob — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 06:51:25 GMT

We’d like Experience Builder to support action to show search results on the map, with a marker, even when the layer being searched isn’t visible. This is useful when using “Add custom search source” to dynamically add search layers at runtime.

When using custom search sources, it’s currently not possible to use the “Show on Map” action to mark the result. The map pans to the location and shows a popup, but there’s no visible marker. This makes it hard for users to understand where the result is.

Let the “Show on Map” action work with add custom sources with action when record selection changes. Make sure search results are always visibly marked on the map.

We are using Enterprise 11.5

Currently trying to find a way to go about this same issue. If anyone has tips for workarounds, it'd be appreciated

I want to achieve the same, but in ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5 its only supported for configuration with a locator source, the search widget generates an output data source.
