Find webmap portal items by using a search term.

screenshot

Use case

Portals can contain many portal items and at times you may wish to query the portal to find what you're looking for. In this example, we search for webmap portal items using a text search.

How to use the sample

Enter search terms into the search bar. Once the search is complete, a list is populated with the resultant webmaps. Tap on a webmap to set it to the map view. For more results, click the "More Results" button at the bottom.

How it works

  1. Create a new Portal and load it.
  2. Create new PortalQueryParametersForItems. Set the type to PortalItemType::WebMap and add the text you want to search for.
  3. Use portal::findItems(params) to get the first set of matching items (10 by default).
  4. Get more results with portal::findItems(PortalQueryResultSetForItems.nextQueryParameters()).
