MRIS, April 14, 2008–Below are some advanced searching tips for TEXT fields, such as City or Advertised Subdivision. You can use combinations of the items below in your text searches, but be careful in how much you include. You may cause nothing to return if you try and get too fancy!- Multiple Values – In a text field, such as City, you can enter multiple values separated by a comma. Example: Fairfax, Rockville, Washington
- Wild Card – If you are unsure of spelling or there may be multiple areas starting with the same word, use the asterisk (*) to indicate a wild card search. Example: King* instead of Kingston Chase
- Not – To indicate you do not want a certain text value as part of your search, use the exclamation point (!). Example: !Springfield. This and more tips can be found under the Help tab.
