Create suggestion template in InstantApp

[CarlaNardinocchi]

Hi, I am new of InstantApp and I am replacing an interactive map from Experience Builder to InstantApp.

I've done a lot of research on the web, Esri blog, etc,  but I haven't found an answer to the following question.

Is it possible to add a category list or domine in the search widget?

I have a map with feature classes
I want to search for a field of a feature class providing suggestion to the user according to a domains or a category list.

I found 'Create suggestion Template' in such a documentation
https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/create-maps/configure-search-in-apps.htm

but when I enable suggestion the only options I find are:
- Minimum suggested characters
- Maximum suggestions
- Maximum result

and not 'Template' as explained in the Documentation above.

Hi Carla,

I can see that the documentation link that you have provided is for Configurable Apps, which are being retired in ArcGIS Online in the first release of 2026: https://support.esri.com/en-us/knowledge-base/deprecation-arcgis-configurable-apps-000030663

This is not possible when using the search tool in Instant Apps - please see the following documentation for configuring the Search tool in Instant Apps: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/instant-apps/latest/customize/configure-search-tool.htm

This blog might also be helpful: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/instant-apps/sharing-collaboration/refining-search-capabil...

If you would like to see this feature added to the Search tool in Instant Apps, I would recommend posting this suggestion on the Instant Apps Ideas Board - https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-instant-apps-ideas/idb-p/arcgis-instant-apps-ideas. This allows other members of the community to upvote your idea and for product team members to view your suggestion, shaping future updates.
