  • Address search only
    Only property address details are searched - meaning that no contact names, contact details (e.g. phone number/email) or contact addresses are included - this will result in more relevant property search results being returned
    Prior to this release, contact and company details were searched and returned

  • One wildcard search
    Only one wildcard search is used in a search, plus the wildcard is only applied to the end of the search term, this change results in more relevant property search results being returned
    Prior to this release, multiple wildcards were applied throughout the search term/phrase

  • Maximum search result - 50 sales/lettings properties
    Up to 50 search results will be shown for each search type in the menu bar - i.e. up to 50 sales properties and 50 lettings properties - this will result in faster searches
    To view more than 50 search results, the existing Advanced Search function should be used instead

  • No archive search
    Only live properties will be returned, archived properties will not be included - this will result in a faster search process
    For archived properties, the existing Advanced Search function should be used instead

...

  • Only property address details are searched

  • Contact/company details held on a property record are no longer searched, meaning no contact names, contact details (e.g. phone number/email) or contact addresses are included in the search

Example

  • Searching using a name will only look at the search term within the property address

  • It will not look at contact or company records containing this search term
    e.g. Wilson is only returned when it is part of a property address

This change will generate more relevant search results

...

  • Only one wildcard search is used in a search

  • The wildcard is only applied to the end of the search term
    (rather than to every space within the search term/phrase)

Example

  • Searching for ‘65 Long’ will return results with the full search term in it plus any characters after it

  • Prior to this release, a wildcard would also be applied after the number , resulting in any property address being returned containing ‘6' and 'long’ - therefore having the potential to return many potentially irrelevant results (e.g. 6 Long Street, 61 Long Street, 62 Long Street etc.)- for example, searching for ‘6 Long' would have returned the property in the example below, along with ‘61 Long Street, 62 Long Street, 63 Long Street, and so on) - now, searching for '6 long’ will only return properties that contain '6 long’ at the start of the search term
