Creating A Search Form

Creating a custom form to search for homes using ListingPress is pretty straightforward. 1. You want to send the request to the index.php file. 2. Here is a list of variables that you can query:

mlsid
mlsids
address
city
state
zip
agent
agent_name
office
office_name
distance
proptype
minprice
maxprice
minsize
maxsize
beds
baths
minyear
maxyear
minlotisze
maxlotsize
minfloors
maxfloors
features
amenities
lifestyle
dom
format
limit
sort

This is probably best illustrated with an example:

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" id="myCustomLPForm" method="get">

    <label>Address:</label>
    <input type="text" name="address" value="" />
