import "@arcgis/map-components/components/arcgis-search";The Search component provides a way to perform search operations on locator service(s), map/feature service feature layer(s), SceneLayers with an associated feature layer, BuildingComponentSublayer with an associated feature layer, GeoJSONLayer, CSVLayer, OGCFeatureLayer, and/or table(s). If using a locator with a geocoding service, the findAddressCandidates operation is used, whereas queries are used on feature layers.
By default, the Search component uses the ArcGIS World Geocoding Service via this URL: https://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer.
If a global apiKey is present, the Search component uses this URL: https://geocode-api.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer. If an apiKey
is present on the LocatorSearchSource, then the Search component uses the URL defined by the LocatorSearchSource.url property.
The Search component sets the view on the Search result. The level of detail (LOD) at the center of the view depends on the data source, with higher quality data
sources returning extents closer to the feature obtained from the search. To manually define the scale of the view at the Search result, use the zoomScale property
of the LocatorSearchSource or LayerSearchSource. Search component results are typically sorted according to their relevance to the search and their relative importance.
However, when the scale of the MapView or SceneView is less than or equal to 300,000, the operations support prioritization of candidates based on their distance from a
specified point (the center of the view) by passing in the location parameter. Features closest to the input location show up higher in the list of results.
This behavior can be changed by using the localSearchDisabled property.

map/feature service feature
layer(s), SceneLayers with an associated feature layer,
BuildingComponentSublayer with an associated feature layer,
GeoJSONLayer, CSVLayer or
OGCFeatureLayer, or table,
or geocode locations with a locator. The sources property defines the sources from which
to search for the view specified by the Search component instance. There are two types of sources:
Any combination of these sources may be used together in the same instance of the Search component.
Note: Feature layers created from client-side graphics are not supported.

- null
suggestionsDisabled
suggestionsDisabled: booleanIf true, disables suggestions for the component.

view
The view associated with the component.
Note: The recommended approach is to fully migrate applications to use map and scene components and avoid using MapView and SceneView directly. However, if you are migrating a large application from widgets to components, you might prefer a more gradual transition. To support this use case, the SDK includes this
viewproperty which connects a component to a MapView or SceneView. Ultimately, once migration is complete, the Search component will be associated with a map or scene component rather than using theviewproperty.
- Default value
- null
