IDX Search Forms

Map Search

Another search option available within the IDX software is the map search page. This page gives your users the ability to search using a dynamic map tool instead of traditional search forms.

You have total control over the center point and you can make the viewable map as big or as small as you want using the custom CSS options.

Users can even use the drag and select tool within the IDX map search interface to go directly to a specific area of interest. All search options are dynamic on this feature, so if users select a different price range or number of bedrooms, the map will automatically show active listings in that area that meet the specific criteria the user is looking for.

Combined with our custom links generator, you can create an unlimited number of map search pages all with different center points and default search criteria. Great for websites that have a lot of community or subdivision focused pages, now you can send those users to a specific area on the map and let them search using the visual search tools.

  • Visual search tool
  • Expandable size
  • Customize views
  • Drag and select zoom tools

Basic IDX Search

Basic or Quick Search on your home page can be done in two ways. You can add a Quick Search form to your home page, and/or add a menu link to your IDX Broker Basic Search page. Both methods, clean and simple. Easy to use.

This Basic Search form also features in-line links to Advanced, Map, Address, and Listing Search.

Designers have access to CSS tools that move form input boxes, hide links to other Search forms, add background graphics, change fonts and more.

Easily choose a Basic Search template and add the link to any website. There are many different layout options available. Then, if necessary, give your designer the tools they need to further customize design and layout.

  • Search basic MLS data.
  • Customize layout options using CSS and integrate with your existing HTML.

Advanced IDX Search – Find MLS/IDX Listings

The advanced search page gives you all the search options you could ever need, including the ability to display all of the searchable fields that are made available from your MLS.

Give your users a number of advanced search criteria to find their home of their dreams, and also control the layout, position and type of search field that actually displays on this page directly through the IDX Control Panel.

Using the latest in Web 2.0 admin tools, you can use the drag and drop feature to layout this page any way you want. The easy to use Advanced Search page management tool is all controlled within the IDX Control Panel.

You can also determine what type of search function you want to display with that specific data field. For example, let’s say your specific MLS provides a field for the number of garages. You can choose to have that field display as a list, keyword search, minimum or maximum value or even both. You can even change the name of the category label if you don’t prefer the MLS provided label.

  • Drag and drop admin setup.
  • Search by any available MLS field
  • Custom layout and ordering of advanced fields.
  • Target users with only a few MLS fields or provide them with the full scale search.

Address Search – Find MLS listings by Address

This will also allow users to search for all listings on a specific street, great for condo searches or popular areas and street names.

Just like all the other types of searches you can create pre-defined search criteria and add it to an existing page on you website that may focus on a specific area or street. Also a great tool for finding all the available units for sale in a specific condo or multi-family unit type that may share the same primary street address.

Some of the built in advantages of using the agent roster is the display of the agent information on all agent listings. When users view a detail page from an agent in your office, that agent’s contact information, head shot and other related information with automatically display inline on that detail page. In addition to the custom display on the detail page, any leads generated from those listings will be automatically routed to that agent, unless you have other contract routing rules set.

Not only do agents get their own login, management over their own leads and custom email updates, but if they also add an HTML header in their account, that header will display on all pages users visit if they start directly on that agent’s bio page. This gives agents the ability to redirect a custom domain name directly to their bio page without the fear of losing a lead or their branding by sending web users directly to their IDX driven bio page. A great retention and recruiting tool for those offices that cater to agents that are web savvy and looking for an office with all the bells and whistles.
