New Feature Release: Advanced Search

Search for Power Users

The latest release has added an advanced search function for our visitors allowing them granular search of our database we hope this will appeal to both visitors and power users of our services.

You can now search for homes and agencies in the UK by first part of postcode, town or county. To search for multiple postcode/towns/counties you can separate each one with a space.

For the initial version we have implemented some basic operators allowing you to control your results. Operators are currently only type: and room: but this allows you to filter your results even more.

Our home page now contains an advanced search widget making it easy for visitors to use the service and letting them know we now have a better search.

We still offer our site search which uses a different approach to the advanced search because it crawls the site and provides search for all page content the advanced search only searches homes and agencies in the database.

Below are a collection of example search words which are inside the yellow boxes we hope to add more operators and also filtering in future releases of our advanced search.
