Search Widget URL Parameter Not Working with Zoom To Action

[Paul_M]

I'm trying to allow links to an Experience Builder app from outside sources to incorporate a URL parameter that automatically opens the app and zooms to text entered in the Search widget box. In my app, searching via the Search widget zooms to the first location match and updates the URL accordingly. However, when entered as a URL parameter to visit or update the app page, it fills out the search box and highlights the first match, but does not zoom to the location. Why doesn't it zoom to the location when used as a URL parameter? Does anyone know of a workaround?

After some more troubleshooting, it seems that the zoom action does not work when the search widget is in the header. I'm guessing this is a bug. After moving it out of the header and onto the map, it is working.
