Description

Referring to this PR, which introduced a change to the layout of the search services menus.
#11144
Here an example of a map resource that contains a long list of search services with fixed layout: resource 5333

This modified the layout structure by moving the list from a single level to an additional side menu for custom search services only, introducing a new component
<SearchServicesContainer>
We can be kept, but it is necessary to add an optional layout mode defined to a new configuration item for the Search plugin. When enabled, this renders the interface structure as it was previously at a single level (all items one below the other in an expandable panel, possibly with a maximum height that can be scrolled vertically).
Below is a proposal of new optional layout:

The component that must incorporate this logic is found in the component: web/client/components/mapcontrols/search/SearchBar.jsx

The single-level structure must be used if the side menu layout is disabled. A suggested configuration for this feature in the Search plugin could be as follows:

{
  "name": "Search",
  "cfg": {
    "searchOptions": {
      "services": [
        ...//list of custom services
      ],
      "sideMenuSearchServices": true
    }
  }
}

the new setting sideMenuSearchServices default is true to maintain current layout, if is false the services menu appears below in the same level(old behavior before the linked PR)

• adding this new option in jsdoc here

Additional Notes

• could be recommend changing the main button label to refer to the currently selected search service (currently, this only occurs in the search input text placeholder), for example: "Search By "

• An additional possibility could be to move the two items currently scrolling at the bottom of the menu to the top: to allow for the option to expand the list of custom services at the bottom.

  • Search By Coordinates
  • Search By Bookmark

• Note that now we have a front-end effect on the list of search custom services, you need to set a list major than just 1 item in searchOptions.services.
