Find an address or place

Some workflows may require specific privileges. For more information about user types, roles, and privileges, see the Accounts topic.

ArcGIS for Microsoft 365 includes an integrated Search tool that shows suggestions to help you find an address or place on a map. The tool uses ArcGIS World Geocoding Service to find locations.

See Navigate a map to learn more.

To find an address or place, complete the following steps:

1. From the map tools, click Search .

   The search text box appears on the map.

2. Type a place-name or partial name, address, or coordinates.

   For example, type Las Vegas.

   Note:

   If you type a generic term, such as museums, the map zooms to the closest location that matches the search results based on the center of the map extent.

   Note:

   Alternatively, click Use current location to find your current physical location on the map. This option is not available in Microsoft Excel for the web.

   As you type, a list of potential candidate matches appears, sorted by the closest match probability.

3. Press Enter to search for the location or select a result from the potential matches.

   A pop-up appears containing information about the location and additional search results.

4. Optionally, do any of the following on the pop-up:
   • Click Dock to pin a location pop-up to the map window.
   • Click Undock to unpin the pop-up window.
   • Click Close to close the pop-up.

     Note:

     Docked pop-ups last only as long as the current map session; they do not persist with a saved map.
