Geotag and geosearch
ArcGIS for SharePoint offers a new feature that enables users to geotag SharePoint documents by using attributes from referenced layers. You can perform a geosearch to quickly find documents not only in your SharePoint site collection, but also across your organisation based on a location on the map or attributes assigned to the documents as geotags.
By adding a SharePoint document with a set of coordinates and a related what3words field, you could select the what3words attributes as shown in this example.

Then you could make sure you can geosearch on the what3words attribute by checking the Show search results from the SharePoint document with the what3words attribute.

Now you will be able to display this SharePoint document on the search input box. If you select this document, you will be able to georesearch specifically your what3words attributes that are on the document.
