Search Widget 1.13 with ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1 Feature Service

[Muhammad_AzhaziqBin_Mohd_Azlan]

Hi,


I'm currently configuring Experience Builder 1.13 Dev Edition for my client. 

I saw that the search mechanism have change to use the full text index search. All the links in the documentation leads to add the attribute index inside AGOL. Is this something possible with ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1?

Hi @Muhammad_AzhaziqBin_Mohd_Azlan ,

The full-text search is not available for ArcGIS Enterprise; you can only use the full-text search in hosted feature services.

We are running into similar issues where searching using referenced feature services only returns results that begin with the search term and not those that contain the search term. This has been a disruption to end user experience.

@ShengdiZhang Thanks for the information that full-text search is not available for ArcGIS Enterprise. Are there any plans to support that in the future? In the meantime, is there any way to configure search to work the old way in Enterprise?

Hi @yyundi ,

The Enterprise hosted feature service started supporting full-text index in 11.4,  and the referenced feature service will support this in 11.5.

However, due to performance reasons, we can only use full-text index or start with to query search suggestions. This is a designed behavior across all ArcGIS web apps.

You can find more details about full-text index here: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/mapping/searching-for-features-in-maps-and-a... 

Thanks,

Thanks for your reply! Great to hear that referenced feature services will support full-text search in 11.5.
