FWRE Search Module
FW Real Estate tutorial for WordPress
The FWRE Search Module places a standalone property search form anywhere on your site using the shortcode [fwre_mod_search]. Visitors can filter properties by location, type, price, and more before ever reaching the listings page. When the form is submitted, it redirects to the page containing [fwre_list].
Use Cases
- Homepage hero search — a prominent search form at the top of your homepage lets visitors filter by location, type, and price right away.
- Sidebar search — keep the form visible across all pages so visitors can refine their criteria at any time.
- Minimal quick search — use the compact layout to show only the most important fields for a simplified experience.
Shortcode Syntax
Place the shortcode in any page, post, or widget area:
[fwre_mod_search]All parameters are optional. Combine them as needed:
