xbSearch is a powerful and versatile tool designed to bring enhanced search functionality to ESRI's Experience Builder platform. As you may know, the previous ESRI platform, WebMap, included The Enhanced Search Widget, developed by Robert Scheitlin. However, Experience Builder, the latest evolution in ESRI's mapping and analysis suite, did not initially offer a similar feature. To bridge this gap and enhance your mapping experience, we developed the xbSearch widget.
