Set geocoder to a specific country or code

[KristjanHlynurIngolfsson]

Hello, working with experience builder and am a bit stuck on the search 'widget' settings.

Problem being that I am not finding what has replaced the "Country or region code(s)" option from the web app builder search widget settings, to be able to narrow search results to the respective country of "Norway" or "NOR". To be clear then we are relying on the default ESRI geocoder. 

Has this option from web app builder search widget just been removed in experience builder search, or am I not seeing the forest (countrycodes entry) from the trees (experience builder)?

Happy friday everyone, or as we say in Iceland: "Gleðilegan flöskudag kæra fólk", -Hlynur

Happy Friday!

It seems like the new approach is to create a Locator View from the Esri geocoding service, then use that locator view in your Experience app's search widget. Here's an article about creating Locator Views: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/mapping/configure-locator-organization/?srsl...

I also found this post about creating a Locator View for custom geocoding services (it's not what you were asking for, but maybe it will help someone else): https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-ideas/local-search-is-missing-in-the-experie...

Thanks for this @fdeters, that first link was exactly what I needed. Odd that we now need to go through AGOL and credits to get the general geocoder from ESRI down to a country specific level... but it is what it is.
