For now, I have been told to follow the cloned typeahead-search widget in global scope and use in our scope application.

As you said, there wasn't any issue as you have work on the global widget in scope application.

As you recommend I did try, and yes, it is working fine.

If they ask to keep the search widget in Scope application, then for sure I will reach out to you for some help.

Thank you!

Have a nice day!
