Search Filters

To modify search criteria, tap the Filter button. Filters display on a panel on the left side of the screen, and they are organized into sections based on relevance (eg., all location filters are grouped together).

Each filter has a checkbox next to it, and the default filters for the search template are checked. You can use the checkboxes to modify your search using multiple filters at once. Check filters you want to include, and uncheck filters you want to exclude, from a search. Unchecked boxes will not filter or affect search results.

You can also modify a filter by expanding it. To do this, tap the chevron next to each filter to expand it. Tap the chevron again to collapse the filter.

To add a filter, tap Add Field. Start typing a field name or tap a field name in the list.

If your MLS participates in data sharing with other MLSs, you can filter by MLS.

Note

To specify the MLSs that are selected by default, go to General Preferences in the desktop version of Flexmls.

Filter by Map Boundaries

In the Photos view and the List view, you can select the Filter by map bounds check box. When checked, only the listings currently visible on the map are displayed in the list. If you click on the map and zoom in or out, the number of listings in the list changes. When Filter by map bounds is not checked, the Photos and List views show all results, including unmapped results and others not currently displayed on the map.

Adjust Filters in the Android App or the Flexmls Mobile Website

In the Flexmls app for Android and on the mobile website, to disable a field, remove a field, or apply an operator (and, or, between, etc.) to a field, tap the Settings settings-icon-android.pngicon to the right of the field name. Tap View Results to view listings that match your search criteria. Tap Reset Filters to clear your changes to search criteria.

To add more search filters, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and tap Add Field. You can then start typing a field name or tap a field name from the list.

Tap View Results to view listings that match your search criteria or tap Close to return to the previous page. Tap Reset to clear your changes to search criteria.

List View

In the Android app and on the mobile website, the Photos view is selected by default. Tap the List button to see the List view instead.

Use the List view to view multiple listings side by side. Columns in the list view have a fixed size, and the same columns are displayed for all property types. (If a property type does not include a field, the column data will be blank.) On smaller mobile devices, you can scroll to the right or switch to landscape mode to see all columns. Click the More (three dots) menu to see additional actions for an individual listing.

More Search Actions

Tap the More (three dots) button at the top of the search results page to access additional actions for the search. In the Flexmls app for Android and on the mobile website, the More menu includes the Share, Select, and Save As options. In the Flexmls app for iOS, the Share option appears directly on the Search Results page, and the More menu includes the Select and Save As options.

  • Share - Share the search with a contact. If the search is new, give the search a name and tap Save and Share.

    Select a recipient from your contacts or create a new contact. Type a message to accompany the link, and then select the sharing method to use. An action bar is displayed at the bottom of the Share page with three options: Email, Text and More. The Email and Text options send the link directly to the selected contact. The More option generates a link that you can share from the available apps on your mobile device.

    You can subscribe the contact to notifications for the search by tapping the Subscribe to updates option. Subscriptions created in the app are scheduled as ASAP and can be accessed in Flexmls Web.

When you are done selecting listings, you can view the Selected collection and recommend, share, or hide the selected listings or add the selected listings to a collection.

  • Save As – Save the current search criteria. Enter a name for the search and tap Save. Saved searches are available across all platforms, so if you save the search using the mobile website or the Flexmls app, it will also be available on the Flexmls desktop website.
