HOW TO SEARCH FOR PROPERTIES ON www.EagleStar.net
GENERAL PROPERTY SEARCHES - SEARCHING BY KEYWORD
Over the years, mainly in response to site user inquiries and suggestions, we
have refined the search capabilities on www.EagleStar.net. This handy guide to
finding properties on the website provides some hints, tips, and tricks on the
different ways to search for and find the property you seek on
www.EagleStar.net. This issue of the Land & Property Review covers the main
keyword search engine on the site. Tips on more advanced search techniques will
appear in following issues.
EagleStar LandSearch by Google
This search engine appears at the top of each page on www.EagleStar.net. It is
very good at quick, general searches using keywords that describe the type of
property you are looking for or the location in which you are looking. In your
search, you can use single keywords, keyword phrases, or multiple keyword
phrases separated by commas. Each additional keyword or phrase narrows the
search and the results will be more specific. When searching, try using
different words that mean similar things, especially if you are not happy with
the initial results.
For example, say you want to search for properties in Colorado. Simply type in
colorado and click the "Search" button. (Note: the EagleStar LandSearch by
Google search engine does not require capitalization of proper noun keywords
like Colorado). If you are looking for homes on acreage in Colorado, simply
search for homes, acreage, colorado.
You can further refine your search using the operators OR and AND. We recommend
using these operators in combination with synonyms of keywords, like so: home
OR homes, acreage OR land, colorado OR co. Use of the OR operator will
generally widen your search results while the AND operator usually narrows your
results.
The EagleStar Land Search by Google search engine is based on keywords and
returns results from ALL pages on www.EagleStar.net, not just individual
listing pages. This means that you will see category pages, location pages, and
sometimes free buyer and seller listings in addition to individual properties
that match your search. While this can be seen as a drawback to this search
engine, it can also be useful.
Since this search engine is driven by keywords, it does not take into account
the different categories in which properties can be found. Therefore, altering
the phrasing in your keyword will produce different search results. As an
example, try these 3 searches: land in kentucky, kentucky land, and ky land.
You will see that each of the results pages differs slightly from one another.
The keyword-driven EagleStar LandSearch by Google is our primary search engine
and generally returns very good results for most searches. We also offer more
precise ways to search for properties, including searching by LISTING ID
NUMBER, searching by LOCATION, and SEARCHING WITHIN CATEGORIES OR LOCATIONS. In
the next issue of the Land & Property Review we'll bring you some tips about
using these optional property search features.
