New! Text entry search box
Filed Under Blogroll by admin | Leave a Comment
We’ve added a text entry search box with autosuggestion and autofill. You can use it to search for properties using a postcode, local area name, town, city, council areas or Citylets reference number.
As you type suggestions will display, narrowing down the possibilities as each additional letter is typed. So, if you are looking for flats to rent in Bruntsfield, typing in B r u will narrow the possibilities to Bruntsfield and will autofill the text box. Alternatively, if you know the postcode of the area you’d like to rent a property, type the first part eg G12 (the autosuggestion will switch off when a number is typed), narrow your search criteria using the other fields eg 2 bed, flat, £500-900, or just hit return to return all properties to rent in G12.
If all you know is you’d like to rent in eg the south of Glasgow then typing Glas will suggest a number of Glasgow options – use your mouse or keyboard arrows to select Glasgow, South. Similarly using your mouse or keyboard arrows is quickest on those occasions where there are multiple place or area names. For example, there’s a ‘West End’ in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Dundee.
Of course you can still search by city eg Aberdeen, Belfast or town name, Stirling, Ayr, and also council areas such as Renfrewshire or Ayrshire North. Finally, if you have a Citylets reference number eg LG69420 from The Citylets Lettings Guide, typing the number will return the schedule for the property providing it is still available.
We hope you like the text entry search box and find it easy to use. Let us know if you have any suggestions or comments.
