Important Notes:

  • The search may not be visible while you're logged into your site's admin area
  • Some IDX services require additional code in Code Injection
  • Ensure your IDX service is compatible with your website platform
  • Test the search functionality before publishing

For best results, consider:

  • Working with a web developer for custom implementation
  • Using a responsive design that works on mobile devices
  • Regularly updating your IDX integration
  • Following your MLS provider's terms of service

Remember to maintain your IDX subscription and keep your MLS credentials current for uninterrupted service.
