SEARCH TIPS


 

NOTE: The POWER SEARCH entry field is at the top of each page.

POWER SEARCH provides a multitude of entry options, but some must be entered a specific way…

a) Telephone Area Code — BEST METHOD … enter the three digits, followed by a period.   For example:  419.  292.  779.

COMING SOON:
FAST AREA-CODE SEARCH … This is an early announcement, but as more Markets adopt the new system, search by area code will offer the best method to search for Markets. Type the letters “ac” followed by the area code. Example: ac293  or  ac419  or  ac479.

Markets Right on the Border — Since some Markets are right on the border of two area codes, let’s say one is right between 659 and 419, that Market will appear by searching either ac659 or ac419.

Built-in Override — What if you only want those specifically in one area code, and not those close but in another area code? Simply place an exclamation point in the front: !ac659 :and no other area codes will appear in the results.

COMING SOON:
SEARCH by AIRPORT PROXIMITY … This is an early announcement, but as more Markets adopt the new system, search by airport code will offer travelers a great option to search for Markets. Type the equal sign “=” followed by the airport code. Example: =SFO  or  =LAX

b) Zip Code … Enter the five-digit zip code. Or try four. NOTE: not all listings included a zip code … try another method if you can’t find it.

COMING SOON:
FAST ZIP-CODE SEARCH … This, too, is a very early announcement, but to search by zip code, type the letter “z” followed by the five-digit zip code, or to widen your results, use only the first three or four numbers in the zip. Example: z30306 or z94022 or to widen your results, try z940. Again, this is a completely new feature, so it will take a while to fully implement.

c) City Name** … DO NOT enter all the letters in the city name — e.g., for Redondo Beach enter: redon And NEVER put the state name after a city name in a search.

**IMPORTANT: Especially for NEW YORK, search on the borough name, such as Queens, Bronx, Manhattan, etc.

Searching on NEW YORK CITY will provide no results; searching NEW YORK will give you the state listing.

NOTE: If one method doesn’t provide the results you were looking for, try another. Not all markets included a phone number, and some included the corporate number, which is no where near the market. Same with zip code. We are working to remedy all that.

Thank you.
