Revise your custom search
The Custom Search lets you set up your own search template. You can
choose the criteria fields you want, and specify the display order for
those fields. You can modify your Custom Search using the Custom Search
Preferences form.
NOTE: Initially, your Custom Search looks exactly like the
Standard Search. This default configuration has been done for you, so
that you only need to modify this layout to suit your needs.
To modify your Custom Search
- From
the Admin menu, choose Custom
Search Setup. Or, from the Searches
menu, choose Custom and click the
Revise Custom Search Setup hyperlink at the
top of the Custom Search.
- Setting
up your Custom Search is a two-step process. First you select fields for
the General criteria; then you can select Additional criteria (amenity
fields) that you want to include for each property type (optional). See below for details.
Step 1: Select general
criteria fields
- Be
sure the General tab is active. Fields that are available for your custom
search template display on the left.
- Select
the fields you want, and then click the Add
button to move them into the search form. (Hold down the Ctrl key to select
more than one field at a time.)
- To
remove fields from the search form, select a field, then click the Remove button.
- Use
the Remove All button if you want to remove
all of the fields on the search form and begin with a blank form.
- You
can rearrange the fields using the Move buttons;
just click on a field in the search form and click Move
Up or Move Down as desired.
Step 2: Select additional
criteria fields (optional)
- Be
sure the Additional tab is active.
- Use
the Property Type field (near the upper right corner of the page) to select
a property type.
- Specify
your criteria fields and their display order, then click Save.
- Repeat
this process for another property type, if desired.
- To
save your Custom Search, click Save.
NOTE: If you do not specify amenities for a particular property
type, the Additional Criteria tab will not be available in the Custom
Search for that property type.
