Hi..

is there a way to do a search for an Intersection in Flexviewer?

I tried to use the current search in Flexviewer and it did not work.
Thanks in advance

I've configured an intersection/address search.  You need to publish a geocoding service.  Use this geocoding service as the source in the Locate widget.  You can set the intersection identifier when you set up the geocoder in ArcCatalog (such as Main@First or Main\First).  You will have to use this in the Locate widget.

Hope this helps.

Yeah..I just tested the "default" locate widget with the supplied ESRI services....intersections work by specifying the @ or & symbols in between the 2 streets....

Not sure what to tell you..I have found that the geocoder I set up is pretty sensitive and you need to be right on with the streets.  I have taken this widget out of my app for now.  I need to look at the geocoding service and see if I can "open" this up a bit.
