Search Widget Not showing Contains

MeleKoneya — Mon, 23 Jan 2023 23:17:57 GMT

When searching in a Web AppBuilder app, the search widget only shows results that begin with the value and none that contain the typed in value.

The search is using feature layers from AGOL

Any suggestions? I am pretty sure we had this working previously

Thanks,

Mele

There has been a change to how the search works in maps and apps, read more about it here: Searching for Features in Maps and Apps (esri.com). The leading wildcard for layer-based feature searches have been removed. In the comments to the blog there is a discussion about how to restore the leading wildcard. Maybe there is a solution for your case there as well.
