While developing our Flex 3.6 web map, we were hoping to use the App Builder's Layout > Search capabilities to search specific fields in our map services. Without designing specific search widgets for each specific layer ie. Search for Parks, etc, this generic search is not functioning the same, when you compare the results with the REST point query tool.
For example, in one of our map services, we have a column named 'NAME_EN' and this column houses the name of the recreational facility. In some cases, a recreational activity ie. BASEBALL DIAMOND falls on a school property, therefore, the value in the NAME_EN field would be "Somename Public School".
But when you search for the text "School" in the search map service, only 6 value return. But when you query the REST end point I get 51 returned.
I'm using this to query the REST end point: NAME_EN like '%School'
How can Flex search results be so far off compared to the REST query results?
