Similar issue is reported by Support **Already configured-application included below with URLs. Along with official documentation on country code behaviors, as well as a Video including the behavior's issue is attached to this case for visualization purposes.

1. Create a Crowdsource Reporter application in ArcGIS online by going to Content > Create > Configurable Apps > Create a Crowdsource Reporter application
2. Under the General tab, select an appropriate group the application can reference for web maps and feature layers
3. Under the Search tab, make sure the enable Search tool is check on, then select the Edit button next to the ArcGIS World Geocoding Service
4. In the ArcGIS World Geocoding Service pane, increase the Maximum Suggestions to 10 and add 'NZL' as the Country Code > Save
5. Under the Access tab, un-check the 'Allow Anonymous access', leaving only the' Allow users to sign in using ArcGIS Online' checked on. Then go ahead and Save the entire application by clicking on the lower-left corner button.
6. Launch the Application and attempt to search 'st asaph' in the search bar, while having Developer Tools open to capture web traffic.

7. In DevTools, copy the last findAddressCandidates request url and paste the url into a new tab in the internet browser.

   • Notice that the response text includes the country code GBR, indicating that the search is not filtering to the country code as configured, but to other countries like Great Britain/United Kingdom
   • To filter based on country code, the url can be dissected to include the country code. Before the 'outFields' portion of the url, add '&countrycode=NZL&' then hit Enter. The response text is now filtered to only show searched for 'st asaph' under the NZL country code
   • This issue is seen in both local and web mercator projections

Work Around: Add the country code into the URL by including '&countrycode=COUNTRYcode&' before the outFields URL portion.

We have analysed the issue and here is our approach to resolve the same :

• In the configuration, user can set the country code for multiple geo coders.
• We will check and accordingly add the countryCode parameter for configured geo coders.
• Once the user configures valid country code, the locator will only show the results for configured country.

@ashishchoure : Country Code text is hyperlink? Can we add moe than one country in it?

[ashishchoure]

@skrishn

• We can set the country code in the configuration and it allows only three characters in the text box.
  • So we can add only one country code at a time.

@ashishchoure : Got it, thanks. Proceed with the fix.
