Enable search in a web map on a field with a domain

Currently, we cannot enable searching a field that has a coded domain, even if the coded domain is of the Text type, per documentation: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/create-maps/configure-feature-search.htm#:~:text=in%20the%20layer.-,Note:,a%20field%20with%20unique%20values

It would be really cool and helpful if we could enable a search on such a field though. This is currently possible using the search widget in WAB and Experience Builder, so why not in the web map and, ultimately, within Field Maps?

More context on a specific use case: Being able to search a field that has a domain applied to it has been requested by my colleagues several times. The field in question is the scientific name of an invasive plant, and to avoid mis-spellings we have created a long domain list (with an option for OTHER if the species name does not exist in the list). We would love to be able to search for a specific record that already exists on the map which we are in the field, using Field Maps. Field Maps is preferable over Survey123, as we want the map-centric approach.

This would be helpful. We understand that when there are coded values this might be problematic, but when the defined value is the same as the coded value, this would work great.
