Using the Speed Search

The Speed Search bar allows users to enter search criteria for certain basic fields directly into the text box, no minimum search criteria required, and view a dynamic count of matched listings next to the Speed Search bar. Exact counts are displayed when the number of matches is at or below 1,000 records, at which time the results can be displayed. To display results, click on the magnifying glass inside the text box or press enter.

To toggle the Speed Search bar on and off, click the icon near the top right of the MLS page.

Values entered into the Speed Search must be separated by a semi-colon (;). If a value entered in the Speed Search is not recognized, an error will display with the invalid criteria and the search will not be allowed to continue.
