Now introducing xbSearch and xbChat
xbSearch
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.
Key Features of xbSearch:
•Advanced Search Capabilities: xbSearch replicates the comprehensive search functionality found in WebMap, allowing you to easily locate features and attributes within your maps.
•Draw and View: You can draw directly on the map to highlight areas of interest and view these selections in a tabular format for detailed analysis.
•Select by Graphic: Select features using graphical inputs, such as points, lines, and polygons, to refine your searches and analyses.
•Select and Buffer by Graphic: Enhance your search results by applying buffer zones around your graphical selections, providing a spatial context to your queries.
•User-Friendly Interface: xbSearch integrates seamlessly into the Experience Builder platform, offering an intuitive and accessible user interface for both novice and experienced users.
Whether you are conducting spatial analyses, managing geographic data, or simply exploring your maps, xbSearch provides the tools you need to work more efficiently and effectively. This user guide will walk you through the setup, configuration, and utilization of xbSearch, ensuring you can maximize its potential in your projects.
