Replicating District Look up from Web AppBuilder

I am trying to replciate the functionality of this site I created some time ago in WAB, using districts and polling stations that are created as related tables:

https://maps.doncaster.gov.uk/portal/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=b5fdd3e10b114501a9427ca6ae07873...

 

Essentially someone clicks or enters and address and it tells them their polling station. This polling station isnt necessarilly the closest to their address, not is it necessarilly in their polling district.

I wanted to use Experience Builder as this is supposed to be a replacement for WAB (that's an argument for another day) but District Look up isn't included. The Near Me widget would only seem to return the nearest so does not do the same job.

I have aeen people say to use Zone Look Up in Instant Apps, which I have tried and got the below, but again the functionality isn't the same. It always wants to zoom on the centre of the area I have selected, rather than the polling station which is the result of interest (the area is of no real use to the end user). Also it returns the table of the area in the results, which again creates a confusing experience for the user:

 

https://maps.doncaster.gov.uk/portal/apps/instant/lookup/index.html?appid=d7a0a0bc13b34ea9a083d27571...

 

Can anyone suggest a way of faithfully replicating District Look Up in Exp Builder (prefereably) or Instant App?

This thread talked about the district lookup issue with EB and the Zone Lookup instant app is being suggested as the replacement for the WAB district lookup widget. Based on your description of some exceptions, it probably won't meet your needs but that would be ESRI's suggested replacement. EB has been ESRI's worst product rollout ever..

Yeah i read that befire posting, it doesn't do the same thing. I have thought of aso many ways that NEARLY work.

For example In ExpB I have a search box that triggers a near me to find the area the address is in, I could then do with a way if using the ID of that area to find the same ID of the point and displaying the result of that point
