# How Your Website's Property Search Works
How visitors search for homes on your AgentFire IDX website: the search bar, filters, sorting, the map and saving searches, plus answers for listings that seem to be missing.
Your website's main property search is usually at `yourwebsite.com/properties/`. Visitors can search by location, narrow results with filters, browse on the map and save searches. You can also use it yourself with a buyer, or send them a link to a search you've set up.
{% hint style="info" %}
**AgentFire IDX only.** This article covers websites that use AgentFire IDX. The filters available depend on the data your MLS shares, so some options may differ on your website.
{% endhint %}
## Search by location
Type a city, address or ZIP code in the search bar, pick a matching suggestion, and click **Search**. Check the label on each suggestion: a city, neighborhood, county and school district can share a name.
## Narrow the results with Filters
Click **Filters** to open the filter panel, make your choices, then click **Apply**. **Reset** clears them.
| Filter | How it works |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **For Sale**, **For Rent**, **Sold** | Which listings to show. |
| **Price** | Drag the slider or type a minimum and maximum. |
| **Beds** | Tap a number, or tap two numbers, like **3** and **4**, to search a range. |
| **Baths** | **2+** means at least two bathrooms. |
| **Listing Type** | **Residential**, **Multifamily**, **Commercial**, **Land** or **Farm**. Pick **Residential** to see **Property Type** options like **Condo** or **Single Family Residence**. |
| **Listing Status**, **Property Details**, **Open House & Tour**, **Home Features** | More detail, like square feet, lot size, year built, days on market and open houses. |
| **Search by Keywords** | Words in the listing, like "pool" or "waterfront". |
## Sort the results
Use the sort menu (**Newest** by default) to switch to **Lowest Price** or **Highest Price**. Results show a page at a time, so a listing may be on a later page.
## Use the map
The map shows the listings in your search. On the left side of the map:
* **Toggle Map Search** turns map searching on or off.
* **Draw** lets you draw a shape around an area, like a neighborhood that's not in the search suggestions. **Delete** removes the shape.
## Save a search
Click **Save Search** to save the current location and filters. Visitors are asked to sign in or sign up first, and they can choose how often to get emails about new matching listings. Visitors can also tap the heart on a listing to save it as a favorite.
## Common Questions
The search page says to zoom in or add a location.
Type a city, address or ZIP code in the search bar and click **Search**, or zoom in on the map.
My address search shows no results.
The home may not be listed right now, or the address isn't in your MLS feed. Search by the city or ZIP code instead, then use the filters.
How do I find condos or single-family homes?
Open **Filters**, pick **Residential** under **Listing Type**, then choose under **Property Type**.
A listing is on the list but not on the map, or I can't find it.
The map shows the listings on the current page of results. Zoom in, change the sort, or go to the next page of results.
My neighborhood isn't in the search suggestions.
Search by the ZIP code, or use **Draw** on the map to outline the neighborhood. You can then save that search or copy the page link to share it.
Can I add a listing to the search results myself?
No. Search results come from your MLS. To show a listing that isn't in your MLS feed, add it in Listings Hub. See [How to Create a Listing Page in Listings Hub](/site-tools/listings-hub-formerly-my-listings/listings-hub-creating-new-page.md).
