I keep struggling with the Experience Builder search widget behaving wonky. I was able to set it up to search my feature layers and zoom to features, but I still don't understand how the text searching actually works. I do not have "exact match" enabled so the search should work as a "contains", correct? Here are some examples of that not working.
Say I want to search my developments for "The Corners at Cherry Glen" (an existing development).
If I start searching "Corners", my result is in the suggested list as intended:
If I start searching "The", I don't get my intended result returned, or anything beginning with "The":
If I start searching "The Corners" - this is BEFORE I hit enter, nothing comes up:
AFTER I hit enter on "The Corners" even though it brought up no results prior to hitting enter, suddenly it shows up as suggested:
This makes it very confusing for the end user. I'm not sure if this is intended behavior, if it's a bug, or if there's some little setting I'm missing. I do have "Auto select the first result" enabled in the search result settings.
You were able to set up your Experience Builder search function to search your feature layers - can you tell me how you achieved it? I'm struggling with that at the moment.

New search source - layer source - select layer & configure
