Using the search() appearance functionality to fill a drop-down list from a feature service successfully loads data from the feature service (it shows correctly in an ordered manner)..., BUT, when typing in values, it is matching it to the end of the string, not the beginning.
The data is address data. So typing '201' for '201 N Broadway' should show all suggestions beginning with 201, BUT, it pulls in addresses like 1 Holland Gln, Unit 201.
I have tried the 'startswith' parameter to no avail (do the 'startswith, endswith work with spatial tables - the documentation is written that it doesn't).
Assistance please. thanks.
