Autocomplete Search return

ModernElectric — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 17:12:43 GMT

I have an Autocomplete Search function in one of my Survey forms that I constructed from Survey123 Connect. However, even though the data is in the AGOL Hosted table, it seems there is a limit in the number of matches it will return. I the highest number in the field that it searches for a match to return attributes is 3800ish. Howver, the match and return of the function seems to stop when I get close to the higher numbers.

Is there a limit or a "constraint" on this function that is holding me up?

EDIT: Is it easier and/or more efficient to run the PullData and/or AutoSearch function(s) from a hosted table OR from a hosted feature layer on my AGOL account?

Thanks

Area you saying that the search is returning potentially 1000's of options. Features layers have a Max Record Count and a query will not return more than that by default. I haven't tried it myself, but it appears you can manually increase it.

@Neal_t_k

Thank you for the reply. However, doesn't seem like any of these options are working. Doing a search on the forum(s) is retrieving old and outdated results.

Curious if there are other solutions?

An alternative could be to try and narrow your search results.
