Certain map features do not display when using the Search widget in ArcGIS Experience Builder

Description

In ArcGIS Experience Builder, when the Search widget is used to search for a particular feature on a layer, all other features except for the searched feature are not displayed in the Map widget.

The image below shows an experience displaying only the searched result in the Map widget.

In an instance where no results are returned by the Search widget, all map features are hidden in the Map widget, as shown in the image below.

Cause

• It is by design where the Search widget only displays the searched feature in the Map widget.
• All map features are hidden in the Map widget when the search and display fields set in the Search widget do not contain the searched feature.
