Derek, Yes, additional metadata has been exposed, but in ArcGIS Online, it looks like there's search functionality only is looking at the filename: Go to My Map Click Add Click Search for Layers Search in "A GIS Server" Type in the URL for a server (in our case - http://gismaps.vita.virginia.gov/arcgis/rest/services) Type "Analyst" in the "find" section. For example, taking a look at one of our services (metadata link exposed in 10.1), it contains the information that I think you're referring to that was added in 10.1, but as an example, in AGOL, it appears that the search does not look at keywords, descriptions, etc, but only at the service name. This would be a great addition and would enable people to more easily search for the correct servce(s) from a GIS Server. ... View more

Other search engines use "advanced search" as an option.  If this was to be created, it would make sense in an "advanced search" category so users could further specify their search query ... View more

Mike - is there any timeframe for this year (ie. Q1, Q2, etc) when this functionality would be added?  This is a critical component, especially for webmaps that use cached images.  In the desktop product, the cached images still load when zoom in beyond the smallest scaled cache layer.  However when looking at the webmap - especially through a webmap shared to the mobile android/iOS tools for ArcGIS Online, the GPS will zoom you in beyond the smallest map cache. It would be very helpful to stop the zoom scale at the lowest scale of the webmap - essentially saying this is the best resolution on this webmap that you will see regardless of whether GPS is used or not. This has a  number of critical applications because any cached layers in ArcGIS Online for Organizations currently require users to build cache scales all the way to the lowest cache scale if/when viewed on the mobile app otherwise it disappears from the view. I hope this helps / makes sense, but resolving this will be a critical component for encouraging people to build and/or use cached services. ... View more

There are a number of streaming media formats (besides mpg, avi, jpg, etc) that are becoming very standard in the world of streaming media.  ArcGIS products should be more interoperable with many of those formats, not just the legacy mpg, avi, jpg, etc. ... View more

The wkid goes on the map tag, but it may not be needed. Make sure the visiblelayers match the available layer names. You may need to use a tool like HttpFox to see what the request/responses are. Here's another example using the 2.2 viewer and the WMS feed - one that works and one that doesn't... It does look like this is a projection definition issue... <layer label="NOAA Infrared Satellite" type="wms" visible="false" visiblelayers="RAS_GOES_I4" url="http://nowcoast.noaa.gov/wms/com.esri.wms.Esrimap/obs?service=wms"/> <layer label="Nexrad Radar" type="wms" visible="true" visiblelayers="nexrad-n0r" url="http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/cgi-bin/wms/nexrad/n0r.cgi?"/> The Iowa State link works but the Nowcoast one doesn't.  Iowa State has their service publishing in 102100 but Nowcoast only has the following (http://nowcoast.noaa.gov/help/mapservices.shtml): SRS Identifier  Projection Name EPSG:4267  North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) EPSG:4269  North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) EPSG:4326  World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84) EPSG:102113  Web Mercator (ESRI Identifier) EPSG:900913  Web Mercator (Google Identifier) I have also tried adding in variables for SRS or WKID and they haven't worked, but removing them alltogether makes Iowa State work. What would be helpful in the next go around would be to have the option to specify the SRS/WKID of the WMS layer since SRS is required by WMS (see http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcims/10.0/mainhelp/mergedprojects/wms_connect/wms_connector/get_map.htm).  While it is optimal for the WMS layer to be in the same projection, this is not always possible.  This is especially the case when using regional data (ie. national or multi-state like weather) and applying it to local or regional areas where the projections will be different. Additionally, for cross-jurisdictional interoperability, there is a requirement to be able to leverage multiple projections either automatically or programmatically.  Much of your local, regional, federal and multi-state data will be in different projections and the ability to use WMS layers with other ArcGIS server layers should be simple to solve by adding a variable for WKID for the map layer. If this isn't possible, then while WMS is added, it really doesn't work unless the WMS service provided has an option to output in the same projection as your other map layers which isn't always possible.
