Search without default UI

Description

This sample demonstrates how to use the Search widget without explicitly using the default user interface. Instead of providing a srcNode in the widget's constructor, leave it empty. The first button searches based on a given point geometry, whereas the second uses a given value. In this specific example, the value is "Miami".
It also shows how you can set your own symbol and labels for the search results. The Search by geometry displays the selected result with a PictureMarkerSymbol and the Search by value displays with a standard SimpleMarkerSymbol.
