Feature service is not added to map using ArcGIS API for JS?

Question

I'm trying to search features using the "esri/search" module. I'm passing the parameters to callback function (Search) to add a feature layer and search features, but i don't see any features added on map in first place. Please check below the function call:

var mysources = mySearch.get("mysources");
mySearch.on("load", function(){
 mySearch.Set("mysources",mysources);
 mysources.push({
 myfeatureLayer: new FeatureLayer("http://arcgis-serveruf-1981283418.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com/arcgis/rest/services/MyFiles/LandParcels/FeatureServer/0"),
 mode: esri.layers.FeatureLayer.MODE_ONDEMAND,
 searchFields: ["ADDRESS"],
 suggestionTemplate: "Address : ${ADDRESS}",
 exactMatch: false,
 outFields: ["*"],
 name: "land parcels",
 labelSymbol: textSymbol,
 placeholder: "address of parcels",
 maxResults: 6,
 maxSuggestions: 6,
 enableSuggestions: true,
 minCharacters: 1
 });
 map.addLayer(myfeatureLayer);
});

• Kirk Kuykendall: "When using a Map with a SpatialReference other than Web Mercator or Geographic, be sure to set a default GeometryService".
• user65031: I published a new feature service by changing the projection from NAD to Web Mercator. But i couldn't add the layer to map. I even declared the myfeatureLayer as separate variable as suggested by below, but still it remains un-added. Would you suggest were i had gone wrong ?. Thanks-Kirk

You haven't explicitly defined myfeatureLayer as a variable, so it's not available when you try to run map.addLayer(myfeatureLayer).

You could first declare myfeaturelayer as a variable, then add the variable to mysources, or you could get the last index of mysources and add that to the map.

• user65031: I defined the myfeatureLayer as a variable before mysources, but still the layer did not show up on the basemap. Any reasons were i had gone wrong?.
• Stephen Lead: Why does myfeatureLayer need to depend on the search function at all? Can you just create a feature layer and add it normally, as in this sample? You're over-complicating things in the above example
• user65031: Thank you Stephen. I fixed the issue. The features are not highlighted when i click the search with a related value or suggested results.
