New Search in HeaderController (Flex Viewer 3.1)

[TristanKnowlton]

This applies to the 3.1 version of the viewer.  I have configured the HeaderControllerWidget.xml to search my own data.  To do so I disabled the geocoding tags (<geocoding></geocoding>).  However when performing a search against my own address field in my parcel layer, the search is still using the geocoding service as well as my own data.  I don't know what else to try in order to completely disable the geocoding service.  Very annoying!!

Anyone have any ideas?

Darryl,

   This bug has already been reported to esri.

[TristanKnowlton]

Thanks for the reply Robert!  Any idea how long it takes for bugs to be addressed for an upcoming release?

Do you know if there is a bug reported for <simplefillsymbol>?  The use of fill symbols and outlines to highlight the search result doesnt work properly either.  Once you right click and clear, it sometimes wont come back. 

Never before have I jumped on a new release so early, now I know why that was a good idea.  Why release it if nothing works right?

Darryl,

   Well there is LOTs of stuff that works right in the viewer. As far as when it will be fixed the best I can say is it will most likely be in the next release. As a developer myself I have great empathy for what they go through trying to figure out every possible angle and use people will attempt and then develop and test for that...

[TristanKnowlton]

Well that's a good point Robert, lots of things do work right.  I was really looking forward to that particular enhancement and I spent too much time trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.  I was just a little sour:)

Darryl,

   Are you working with the source code? If so I can give you the fix for this issue.

[TristanKnowlton]

I am.  That would be much appreciated.

Darryl,

  Can you provide your HeaderControllerWidget.xml search portion, so that I can see exactly what you are trying to configure?

[TristanKnowlton]

Here you go.

Darryl,

   Here is the changes in red. I am still struggling with the result grphic being added to the map when I think it should though.

find src\com\esri\viewer\components\singleLineSearch\SingleLineSearch.mxml and change the red lines.

           private function search():void             {                 currentState = "normal";                  if (!searchTerm)                 {                     return;                 }                  const hasCurrentSearchInProgress:Boolean = totalResultsToProcess > 0;                 if (hasCurrentSearchInProgress)                 {                     cursorManager.removeBusyCursor();                 }                  cursorManager.setBusyCursor();                 map.infoWindow.hide();                 totalResultsToProcess = 0;                 searchResults.removeAll();                                  if (!isFindEnabled){                     totalResultsToProcess++;                 }                  if (isFindEnabled)                 {                     totalResultsToProcess += searchLayers.length;                 }                  lastSearchTimestamp = getTimer();                                  if (!isFindEnabled){                     const addressData:Object = {};                     addressData[singleAddressFieldName] = searchTerm;                     var locatorParams:AddressToLocationsParameters = new AddressToLocationsParameters();                     locatorParams.address = addressData;                     locatorParams.outFields = [ "Ymax", "Ymin", "Xmax", "Xmin" ];                     locatorParams.location = map.extent.center;                     locatorParams.distance = calculateExtentRadius();                          locator.addressToLocations(locatorParams, new AsyncResponder(locator_resultHandler, locator_faultHandler, lastSearchTimestamp));                 }                  if (isFindEnabled)                 {                     var searchLayer:SearchLayer;                     for (var i1:Number = 0; i1 < searchLayers.length; i1++)                     {                         searchLayer = searchLayers[i1];                         findTask.url = searchLayer.layerURL;                         var findParams:FindParameters = new FindParameters();                         findParams.contains = true;                         findParams.layerIds = searchLayer.layerIds;                         findParams.searchFields = searchLayer.searchFields;                         findParams.searchText = searchTerm;                         findParams.outSpatialReference = map.spatialReference;                         findParams.returnGeometry = true;                          findTask.execute(findParams, new AsyncResponder(findTask_resultHandler, findTask_faultHandler, lastSearchTimestamp));                     }                 }             }
