Is it possible to have a search box with a drop down menu of choices? for example, if a user needs to find a pump, they want to be able to go a search box, see a list of pumps, choose the pump they want...the map then zooms to said pump location.

Is this possible? any ideas if a widget has been created with this function?

Tim,

   Sure wildcards can be used. But what you initially asked was about providing a drop down of unique values from the data and thus you can not have both. Either you have a list of unique values to select from or you allow the user to type a value that can use a wildcard.

Tim,

   The eSearch widget has that capability. If you setup a search layer for the pumps and use "uniquevalsfromfield" or the "userlist" options.

Can wildcard searches be done using the eSearch Widget? for example, not using a drop down list, but instead if a user wants to select assets that begin with "RW" or have the letters "AB" in their name?
