SearchViewModel

AMD: require(["esri/widgets/Search/SearchViewModel"], (SearchVM) => { /* code goes here */ });
ESM: import SearchVM from "@arcgis/core/widgets/Search/SearchViewModel.js";
Class: esri/widgets/Search/SearchViewModel
Inheritance: SearchViewModel Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.0

Provides the logic for the Search widget, which performs search operations on locator service(s), map/feature service feature layer(s), and/or table(s). If using a locator with a geocoding service, the findAddressCandidates operation is used, whereas queries are used on feature layers.
