Subject: Search Box Auto-Complete for Geocode Service

 

I have a geocode service I am using to allow a user to put in an address, and the results are returned in a table. However, it does not auto-populate as user types. How do I accomplish this?

  Hi Ryan, did you ever get a response to this?  We are looking to do exactly this and not sure how to go about it.

   

  Thanks, Lee

  I would like to see if there is an answer for this also.  I am using the ESRI geocoding service which provides a suggest format, but I have no idea how to incorporate this into an autocomplete box.

  Here is another possibility....

   

  The ESRI World Geocoding service has a SUGGEST method:

   

  https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/geocode/api-reference/geocoding-suggest.htm

   

  Basically this allows you to format the URL to return suggestions based on the text you pass as a parameter.  I can get this to work in the browser directly: 

   

  http://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer/suggest?text=2516+Balboa&f=pjson

   

  and it passes back several suggestions.  I would assume that you could use this construction in an AutoComplete text box, but so far I haven't been able to make this work.  I don't get any records returned.  Here is how I am structuring this, maybe someone could suggest the correct way to do this, since it needs the URL formatted a particular way to return results?

  Hi everyone,

   

  As Tami's found, the autocomplete box formats queries to services in a very specific way, which isn't compatible with the geocode server's suggest method.  It specifies to use the query method and adds a paramater for "where=".  For example, if you were to use the configuration from the image above, the request that will be sent to the geocode server is:

   

  http://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer/suggest/query?returnGeometry=false&spatialRel=esriSpatialRelIntersects&where=text%3d2516+Balboa&outFields=text&returnDistinctValues=true&f=json

   

  Because this format doesn't work for geocode services, I think we would need to have additional settings added to the Autocomplete box form item, or a different new form item altogether to make this work.  If that's something you would like to see, I would recommend posting to the Ideas (https://support.geocortex.com/GSCIdeas?c=09a6000000008RsAAI&filter=1&categ=all&sub-nav=ideas&main-nav=essentials&page=1) section so that other users can vote to have the feature considered.

   

  Hope that helps,

   

  Amanda
