Graphic Search in eSearch widget

Rober,

This question is for the graphic search in the eSearch widget for 3.0. It dose not work for, I try to use the point or polygon to select the target area, but nothing happened. Please advise how to use the Graphic search even on the online samples.

Thanks
Zhujing

Zhujing,

Using the graphical search is simple. On the Live Preview site it preforms a search based on the url and zooms the map to Calhoun County Alabama, so to start you need to click the full extent button on the navigator widget to get you back to Louisville then choose Louisville Zoning as the search layer and then choose the Point tool and click on the map then when you have placed all the graphics on the map you desire then click the search button. If you want it to search as soon as you click on the map then you can configure that in the eSearchWidget.xml, just read the Enhanced Search Widget XML Configuration.pdf

Robert,
Would this graphic search only work in one projection not the others. All my map services are in State Plane.
I tried the Esearch widget without modify the eSearchWidget.xml file. I can do text search to find the Zoning, and after that I can not use the graphic search to select the zoning, it did not work. Here is the screen shot in the attachment.

Following code is from my main config.xml, to show you the initial extent and the projection for my application.

<map esrilogovisible='false' initialextent="497503.88 768083.283 738441.30 916208.283" wkid="2260" scale="180000" >

thanks

Zhujing,

And you are click the Search Button after you draw the rectangle (because you have enable multi-graphics you have to click search)? Where is your base map in the word document image you posted?

Robert,

OK. I did not click the search button after I select the area. It worked.

Thanks

Zhujing,

If you do not want to do that then

Uncheck the "enable multi-graphics" in the GUI

Have the checkbox configured to startup unchecked by setting the enablemultigraphicssearch to false

Completely remove the "enable multi-graphics" by setting the multipartgraphicsearch and enablemultigraphicssearch to false

Don't forget to click the Mark as answer check on this post and to click the top arrow (promote).
Follow these steps as shown in the below graphic:

You missed the most important step so let me try out a new step by step image of what you should do.
