It's not as streamlined as using a Locator for geocoding (for example, the performance may&nbsp;not be optimized for geolocating, you might get more or fewer results than expected, you will not get a suggestions API, the geodatabase file could&nbsp;end up larger than the locator file would have), but depending on your requirements it could serve your purpose.</P><P></P><P>When you take the feature service offline, ensure that you include the field(s) you want to search on. Then once you have your <SPAN style="font-family: 'andale mono', monospace;">AGSGeodatabaseFeatureTable</SPAN>, you can call <SPAN style="font-family: 'andale mono', monospace;">queryFeaturesWithParameters:completion</SPAN>. Depending on the geometry type of the feature service you may need to process the results to get a suitable extent to zoom to.</P><P></P><P>Nick.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 27 Mar 2017 18:01:10 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-runtime-sdk-for-ios-questions/how-to-create-locator-file-through-arcgis-online/m-p/219452#M2004 Nicholas-Furness 2017-03-27T18:01:10Z Re: How to create locator file through ArcGIS online to support offline searching in IOS app. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-runtime-sdk-for-ios-questions/how-to-create-locator-file-through-arcgis-online/m-p/219453#M2005 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>That means for offline searching we have to purchased ArcGIS desktop or ArcGIS Pro application?</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 27 Mar 2017 18:05:16 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-runtime-sdk-for-ios-questions/how-to-create-locator-file-through-arcgis-online/m-p/219453#M2005 KamalMittal 2017-03-27T18:05:16Z
