Hi,

Currently the Experience Builder Map Layers widget - search function filters the layers that match the search text.

That results in some odd behaviour.

If the search string matches a group name, it will return the group, but when you expand the group, it looks as though the group is empty:

If the search string matches a layer name, it returns the group the layer is in, but doesn't expand the group so you can't see the layer:

until you expand it:

You can try this for yourself on our main public facing mapping website https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/a3074c31108a43ada55e21e660bc043d.

It's a great tool, but our users don't find it very intuitive.  I would like an option to highlight the layers that match the search text instead, expanding the groups where necessary.

Thank you,

Sarah

This has been supported in the latest AGOL 2025 Oct release, and the searched layer will be automatically expanded if inside a group.
