How can I customize my IDX search?

If your MLS offers IDX Smart Framing, you can customize the IDX search form that you set up on your Web site. You can remove or reorder the criteria fields, or change the colors to make the form blend in better with your site.

To customize your IDX search

  1. For brokers: From the Admin pull-down menu, choose Office, then on the Office menu select IDX Search Setup. (Note: If this menu item does not display, check with your MLS board staff to see if it is available.)

    For agents:
    From the Admin pull-down menu, choose IDX Search Setup. (Note: If this menu item does not display, check with your broker. It may be that your MLS does not offer agent-level IDX. If it is available, then your broker needs to authorize this feature for an individual agent.)

  2. Click the Check All button to display the default order of the criteria fields.

  3. If you want to remove a field, click in its On/Off box to uncheck it.

  4. If you want to reorder fields, change their Display Order number. Fields will display on your IDX search in ascending order, with the lowest numbered field at the top.

  5. To change the colors, select the appropriate color from the pull-down fields at the bottom of the IDX Search Preferences form. (TIP: Click "View Color Choices" to see all available colors.)

  6. Click Submit. Your changes are immediately active on your Web site's IDX search. (Note: You may need to refresh your browser to view the changes.)
