Description

In recent years ArcPy has made large strides in accommodating fine-grained controls for the runtime properties of locators. This enhancement request is to ensure that all runtime properties that can be accessed from the ArcGIS Pro GUI are configurable from ArcPy's Locator Class as well. For the properties not exposed to ArcPy, the only alternatives are for a user to:

1. set those properties within the ArcGIS Pro GUI - this is supported
2. directly edit the .loc file programmatically - this is not supported

The specific deliverable that I'd like to see from this enhancement is access to the Locator property `match with no zones`, but realistically, there should not be any properties that are only accessible within the GUI. **In light of that, this enhancement request is to add all Locator settings/properties to the Locator Class that are not currently accessible within ArcPy.**
