Problem with Search Widget

[VeronikaBraatz]

Hello,

I am currently constructing a map with JS API. Unfortunately the Search Widget is causing a Problem. As long as I Search esriFieldTypeString Fields it works fine. As soon as I change to a different fieldtype my console returns:

Error: Unable to complete  operation.

Stack-Trace:

and

[object Error]{code: 400, description: "", details: Array[1], httpCode: 400, log: undefined, message: "Unable to c...", name: "Error", number: 0}

This Problem only occurs with our Layers, the Search multiple sources | ArcGIS API for JavaScript Sample works fine.

Unfortunately I can't give you access to our Layers, because they contain internal data.

Any help is appreciated

Veronika,

   Could it be related to this issue?

dijit/search widget - not working

[KellyHutchins · Accepted solution]

The search fields have to be of type string for feature layer searches. The widget also supports geometry, suggest candidate objects and an array of latitude, longitude. See the search method in the API ref for more details.

Hi Kelly,

thanks a lot for your help. Do you or anyone else know of a widget/method to search for type double fields?

My workaround would be to add a colum to my feature layer containing the data I want to search but defined as string.

Does anyone have a more elegant solution?

Thanks
