Use this article to filter listings by keywords, exact phrases, or multiple keywords with the Text Search filter.
Find listings by keyword on the Filters tab
The Text Search filter finds keywords in listing descriptions and addresses. It does not search private remarks or agent remarks.
Steps:
Click the Filters tab
Enter Text Search in the Search filters and values field
Enter a keyword in the Text Search field
Your search results update to show listings that contain the keyword. The keyword appears under Applied Filters as a Text Search filter.
Search for exact phrases and multiple keywords with Or or And
Put quotation marks around an exact phrase, such as "high ceilings". Without quotation marks, results may include listings where the words appear separately.
To search for multiple keywords or phrases, separate them with commas in the Text Search field, such as "high ceilings", pool. Select how they apply from the dropdown next to the field:
Or: Shows listings that contain at least one keyword or phrase.
And: Shows listings that contain every keyword or phrase.
Or is selected by default. For example, enter "high ceilings", pool and select And to find listings that mention both.
The Text Search filter finds listings that mention your keywords. There is no option to exclude listings that mention specific words.
Filter by keyword from the Text search column
Add the Text search column to filter by keyword directly from your search results. Customize Your Search Results View explains how to add columns. Columns are available in List and Expanded views.
