Address search tool settings

I have a map I am working on. View-able at: http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=c0bcad5921d54e6ab5f2d212fc42dd7e

Currently, when using the address search tool, the city name has to be included in order to search for specific addresses in my map. I am looking for a way to manipulate this tool to limit it's search within my city without users having enter anything more than just the street address. Maybe there is a way to set a default city. Or maybe there is a way to geographically limit the search.

Any ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Had the same question myself and it was answered for me here:

Basically to configure a custom geocoding task you need to host the app on your server.

I am looking to do this too. However, I want to use esri's geocoding service, not my own custom one. Can I still use theirs but make it search only within a geographic boundary?

Also, when I type in an address in the search box, I get multiple results of the same address. I see that some are different (like with the street direction or city), but there is always two of the same exact address. Why?

Just gettting started, in tutorials stating to click on settings-->Map Tools-->Search, there is no search option?
