In this article, we will give you a step by step tutorial on how to create custom searches using your AgentFire IDX.
In order to create a custom search, make sure that you're logged into your site's backend:
Step 1: Go to your site's /properties/ page. (Add /properties/ to the end of your web address)
Here, you can search by City, Address, Area or Zip within the search bar and navigate to the filters for advanced search settings.
Or, use the Polygon tool to draw the area you'd like to save on the map.
TIP: click the starting point of your polygon to save the shape.
When you have selected the criteria you require, simply hit the 'Save Search' option in the top right corner of the map:
TIP: You can create a page dedicated to this search by checking the 'Automatically Create A Search Page' option when saving!
