Now that you have your search saved let's go over a few ways you can share your saved search.

Your saved searches have a shortcode available to use on certain pages or blocks. If you see a widget or page asking for a shortcode you can find it in the IDX Saved Search page. Just copy the code and paste it in the spot for Shortcodes:
