Our users want to be able to "return features that have a spatial relationship with features in another layer" using the Portal Query Widget, even when linework might not be perfect.  None of the predefined spatial relationships (ie intersect, contains, within, overlap, etc) will work for what we need. The Query Widget will only allow positive number search distances.  So if the linework on the polygon you are using to do the selecting is just over the edge you can't get the result needed.  If the Query Widget would allow negative distances (like -10 feet) then it would only grab the features that were needed using an intersect.  It would be extremely helpful if the Query Widget functioned similarly to Select by Location in ArcGIS Pro or ArcMap and you could set a negative search distance.
