Search Page Overview

Set filters on the Search page, review results, select and work with listings, save and view searches, and explore Search Analytics.

Use this article to move between the Filters and Results tabs on the Search page, set search criteria in the Filters tab, review and narrow listings in the Results tab, select and work with listings, save a search, view your Saved Searches, and explore market data in Search Analytics.

Move between the Filters and Results tabs on the Search page

The Perchwell Search page has two tabs in the upper right:

  • Filters: Set and adjust your search criteria. The number next to Filters shows how many filters are applied to the search.

  • Results: View the listings that match your search criteria. The number next to Results shows how many listings match the search.

Click the Filters or Results tab to move between them. Next to the tabs, a count such as "Showing 30 of 54 listings" shows how many matching listings have loaded so far. Scroll down the results to load the next batch of listings, and the count updates.

Quick Filters appear in a row across the upper left of the Search page. They cover common search criteria, including Property Type, Price, Beds, Baths, Sqft, and Year Built. The search map appears below the Quick Filters on the left side of the page. Property Type and Year Built are set from the Quick Filters only. The other Quick Filters are also available on the Filters tab. To find one, enter its name in the Search filters and values field in the upper right of the Filters tab.

Set your search criteria on the Filters tab

Set and adjust your search criteria on the Filters tab of the Search page. Search filters are organized into panels on the Filters tab. To find a specific filter, enter its name in the Search filters and values field in the upper right of the Filters tab. The field matches filter names and the values inside each filter. It also matches part of a word, which means a filter can appear because one of its values contains what you typed.

Create a Search with Filters explains how to build a search from filters and combine criteria with Or, And, and Not.

Draw a shape on the map to filter listings by location. A shape and a Location filter, such as City or Zip Code, combine as Or, which means the results include listings that match either one. Filter Your Search with Map Tools covers the radius, polygon, freehand, and commute tools.

Work through listings on the Results tab

The Results tab shows the listings that match your search criteria. Click an icon next to View, above the search results, to choose how the listings display:

  • List: Displays listings in rows with no photos.

  • Expanded: Displays listings in rows, with a photo and a listing summary in the Location column.

  • Tiles: Displays listings as cards with larger photos and no columns.

  • Preview: Opens one listing at a time.

  • Analytics: Displays charts based on the listings that match your search criteria.

The Columns menu above the search results shows the name of the column template currently applied. Open the Columns menu to add, remove, or reorder columns. Save your columns as a column template from the same menu.

Location and Status can be reordered but cannot be removed. Both columns remain visible in List and Expanded views regardless of the column template you select.

Customize Your Search Results View covers search result views, column templates, and the map display step by step.

Narrow your search results with Keep, Hide, and column filters

Narrow the listings on the Results tab with Keep, Hide, or a column filter.

Keep and Hide change only the listings on screen, and your search criteria on the Filters tab stay the same. Select the checkbox on each listing you want to keep or hide, then open the Actions menu:

  • Keep: Shows only the selected listings and hides the rest.

  • Hide: Hides the selected listings and keeps the remaining listings on screen.

The crossed-out eye icon next to the Actions menu shows how many listings are currently hidden. Click the icon to view and restore hidden listings to the search results.

Important: Keep and Hide apply only while you remain in the search. Save the search to keep the changes. If you reload or leave without saving, the hidden listings return.

Click the filter icon in a column header, such as Price or Bedrooms, to filter your results by that column. A column filter is added to your search criteria and appears under Applied Filters on the Filters tab. To clear it, click the x on the column header.

Take action on selected listings from the Search page

Select the checkbox on each listing you want, then open the Actions menu. The number next to Actions shows how many listings are selected. The Actions menu is where sharing, tagging, reporting, printing, and exporting all start.

Actions Menu Options on the Search Page covers each option in the Actions menu.

Share Listings with Clients from Search covers sharing by email, text message (SMS), or public link. Export Listings to a CSV File covers CSV (comma-separated values) exports and export templates. Print or Save Search Results as a PDF covers printing search results or saving them as a PDF.

Note: Print appears in the Actions menu when search results are in List or Expanded view. Print is not available in Tiles view because Tiles view has no columns. Switch to List or Expanded view to print search results.

Tag listings from your search results

To tag listings from your search results, select the listings, open the Actions menu, and click Share. Under via Tag, select one or more Tags to add the listings to, then click Next and Add Listings.

Add Listings to a Tag covers tagging step by step, including how to notify the contacts on a Tag.

Save a search and view your Saved Searches

Click Save in the upper left of the Search page, next to Saved Searches, to save your current search. An orange dot on the Save button means the search has changes that have not been saved.

Click Saved Searches to view and reopen searches you have already saved. A saved search can be connected to a contact and set to send alerts when new listings match the search criteria.

Manage Your Saved Searches covers sharing saved searches, setting alerts, using templates, and deleting a saved search.

See market charts for your results with Search Analytics

Search Analytics creates charts from the listings that match your current search criteria. When you change the search criteria, the Search Analytics charts update to reflect the new results.

From the Results tab, click the Analytics icon next to View. Add charts to Search Analytics with these two buttons:

  • Charts: Opens the Charts window. Market Share, Distribution, Location, and Median each expand to show the charts in that category. Select the checkbox next to each chart you want to add.

  • Update Dashboard: Adds your selected charts to Search Analytics.

Drag the handle on the left side of a chart card to move it to a different position.

Note: Search Analytics is different from the Analytics page in the top navigation. Search Analytics creates charts from the listings in your current search results. The Analytics page runs standalone reports on agents, offices, and market activity. Analytics Page Overview covers the Analytics page.

Analytics FAQ covers how many charts can be added to one search and whether Search Analytics charts are kept when you save a search. Share and Export Analytics Charts covers emailing charts and exporting them to PDF.
