Search not want to show results with own geocode

[AdolphGrimbeek]

I'm working on a arcgis viewer for Silverlight that are not on the internet.  I've created my own address locator service.  The service shows in internet explorer and it return a coordinate if searching for an address. 

When I add the locator to the Search it shows that it had connected with no errors.  However when I run the search tool and type in my search it only say searching and then "No results to display"

Can I some where see if there is a error message. 

My application and service are on two different machines.

Thanks
Adolph

I would start by using a web debugger such as Fiddler to view the request being sent. That way you can make sure the request looks ok and you will get the return messaging back to see if the request was successful or if it had an issue.

Thank you Brian. 

In Fiddler.  Seems that the service is working fine with no error message.  So it found what I am looking for.

But then in is looking for tasks.arcgisonline.com as the Host.  with a message that the DNS lookup failed.  This could be the issues as I am on an offline system.  At this stage I could not find an answer but are still looking.

Hi Adolph,

I am not sure if I am right, but my gut feeling tells me that you have successfully connected to your own locator service, but for the "extent" of the search area, it might be depending on http://tasks.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Geometry/GeometryServer.

Check this out on your application builder:
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/silverlight-viewer/concepts/index.html#//017700000044000000

Change the geometry server to your own network accessible geometry service.

Hope I am pointing you in the right direction.

Regards,
Raymond

If used regularly, change your default geometry server to be the local server. Much quicker that trying to access arcgisonline
