    Hello, I just bought the theme for a client, it’s really great. I’m designing a real estate brokerage website, and Enfold has everything I need to build it, except for one thing, a search function for the properties. By that I mean a search box with multiple cells where you would choose from a drop down menu the type of property, price range, location, etc, and press ‘search’, and only the properties that meet your criteria are displayed. Do you have any advice or recommendation on how to achieve that functionality, from within Enfold or through buying a plugin or widget? Thank you.

    Hey amrman0,

    I haven’t tried any myself but I’m pretty sure there are some good plugins out there: https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/real-estate

    Thanks,

    Hello touch2be,

    I ended up not implementing the search functionality because of two reasons.
    1. The use of real estate plugins with any theme (such as Enfold) to achieve a search functionality, will make the search result pages look totally different than the theme pages, it’s almost impossible in my opinion to make these results pages have the same design and look of the original theme.
    2. The search functionality was not needed that much in my client’s case because of the small number of properties on the site, since the client is working in a niche real estate sector. I used instead the menu items to focus the property search somewhat.
    In my opinion, if a search function is necessary, you must use a reliable theme with this function already built in.
    Here is my site: Mehanna.com Good luck.

    Hi @touch2be,

    Like you said there are a lot of plugins out there on it’s very hard for us to keep track of what works with the theme and not, I think you will have to test yourself which ones work and which doesn’t.

    Regards,
    Rikard
