OpenMLS, Where Everybody Lists

Keyword Search Feature

Keyword Search

Online users want simplicity.

So these days, search engines such as Google, All The Web, Yahoo!, and others offer their users the ability to search for information using a simple and clean search tool.

OpenMLS, also, offers a simple way to find our community listings.

We provide a fast and user-friendly keyword search located at the top of our pages. You'll notice the search interface looks similiar to other search engines and the reason for this was to present a tool with "familiarity" instead of complexity and confusion.


Match ALL wordsMatch ANY word

Searching is really simple: Type in one or more words into the search field and click "OpenMLS Search" (or press Return).

Ex. orlando home

With "Match ANY word" all listings are returned which contain at least one of your search terms. If "Match ALL words" is selected, only those listings are returned wich contain all of your search terms.

Alternatively, you can place a plus sign + directly in front of one or more words to only get listings which include all those words. Words with a minus - sign directly in front of them change the result so that only listings are retrieved which do not contain any of those words.

Ex. orlando home +retirement
Ex. orlando home -mobile

Unfortunately, phrase searches are not supported.

Our search results are ordered by relevance with the most relevant listings listed first. Relevance depends on the number and position of matched words in the listing pages.
