The **Generic Search** tool, located at the top of the application, can be configured to search for specific values within a particular layer field. For example, as shown in the figure below, it can be used to search for a landmark by name within the **Landmarks** layer.

As you type the landmark’s name, a drop-down list of matching suggestions appears, allowing you to select the desired result.

When you select a landmark name from the search suggestions, the corresponding feature is selected and highlighted on the map, as shown in the figure below.
