Search locations

One way to find a location on a map is to search for it. You can pan and zoom until you find what you want, but using a search tool is often faster and more precise.

ArcGIS Maps for Fabric includes an integrated search option that combines resources in the map, such as locators configured by your organization. When searching for a location, you can enter addresses, places, points of interest, street intersections, and longitude and latitude coordinates. When you search for a location, suggestions are provided to help you find what you are looking for. By default, the integrated search option combines the available resources in the map, but you can also search using a single resource.

The map display automatically zooms to the selected search result, and a pop-up appears at the location.

Use search to find locations

To find locations and features using the search option, complete the following steps:

  1. Open a new or existing map in ArcGIS Maps for Fabric.

  2. Click Search Search.

    The search box appears on the map.

  3. Provide keywords in the search box.

    Keywords can include addresses, street intersections, places, points of interest, longitude and latitude coordinates, feature IDs, and so on.

    Note:

    As you type, similar recent searches or suggestions based on similar keywords appear. You will see suggestions for street addresses, street intersections, points of interest by name or by type (for example, Riverside Hospital or hospital), place-names (such as city, county, province, and so on), and postal codes. Locators may or may not have suggestions enabled.

  4. If an arrow appears in the search box, click it and choose an option to search multiple resources.

    You can search all available resources by default. These resources can include locators configured by your organization and layers the map author configured as searchable.

  5. Press Enter when you finish typing the keywords in the search box, or select one of the suggestions.

The map display zooms to the location of the search result and a pop-up with information for the search result appears.

Note:

If you pressed Enter and did not select one of the suggestions, you will see the Show more results link in the pop-up. Click the link to view a list of alternative options.

If you selected one of the suggestions when typing keywords in the search box, you will not see the Show more results link in the pop-up. Close the pop-up and search again.
