Changing zoom scale for Search widget

[AndrewL]

According to this documentation I can change the zoom level for the Search widget. I have tried it several times but don't see any changes. I save the app every time then relaunch. Shouldn't this change the initial zoom level after you enter an address? Every time I change it it zooms to the same extent however. Maybe I am missing something. Thank you!

Be default, zoom scale is defined as 1:50,000. Change it if necessary.

OK,   So I think the issue is that the zoomScale is only used is the locator does NOT return a extent. 

If the result does not have an associated extent, specify this number to use as the zoom scale for the result.

Hi Robert,

Yes you are right, only works with locators without extent

Hi Baba,

Can you elaborate on this?  I'm having this issue - cannot for the life of me change the zoom when you select from the search list.

Thanks,

Jordan
