Full Text Index supported at 11.4

[DavidColey]

Hello - does anyone know if full text indices will be supported on text fields for hosted feature layers at 11.4?  

I have an ExB app in AGOL that uses a list widget where the List Widget search function works on a comma-separated text attribute field for a hosted layer.  I need the full text index capability so that the search suggestions will populate words from anywhere in the attribute.

When I try to use my 11.3 by-reference collaborated layer for the List Widget source, the full text search capability does not function because the AGOL ExB List Widget does not see the source as hosted, which is expected. 

So I'm trying to determine whether or not I'll need to keep this source layer as fully hosted, or (hopefully) be able to assign the full text index on the attribute in enterprise at 11.4 and that way (again hopefully) the full text index property will persist.

Thanks,

David

Well, the reverse works.  That is, setting a full text index on a text attribute in an ArcGIS Online hosted feature layer, and then collaborating that layer back to Portal, search tools such as the map search tool do honor the index.  

Hopefully the full-text index capability setting will make it into the 11.4 Enterprise release.
