I am trying to reproduce the esri/dijit/Search tutorial that is new in the 3.13 release of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript with one of my own layers.

I am having with the suggestions part if it. If I use the default source for this it will for fine. I will enter the first few character in the textbox and it will produce a number of suggestion that I can choose from. When I use my own source (as above) there is no suggestions that appear. I have check for errors and there are none. I have also checked the network in my Dev tools and the suggestions part is not firing off a query like the default source does.
I am wondering if I need something special setting up on my layer or should it just work
Thanks
From the API documentation
Working with suggestions is only available if working with a 10.3 geocoding service that has the suggest capability loaded or a 10.3 feature layer that supports pagination, i.e. supportsPagination = true.
Looking at your server you are running 10.2.2 so you need to move to 10.3 and make sure you allow pagination for your service in order to get this capability.
