I have a webmap that I need search to only work on layer attributes, not on address locations. Nearly every time I make edits to the map the search settings are reset and I need to add the 5 search layers back and remove the address checkbox. Happened 4 times yesterday and was reset when pulling my work up this morning.
Few questions:
Where are you authoring the map?
What kind of changes are you making to the map?
Can you share the map showing the problem?
It's a arcgis.com map made from a feature layer from the Water Distribution Data Management solution.
The only changes being made are modifications to offline settings, more troubles there.
I did removed the linked tables yesterday and the search settings seemed to have stayed put overnight so that's a good sign.
