Default Detailed Searches or Not Detailed

I would like to hear opinions on what kinds of searches everyone uses. We have two different ones we work with. The search on our website is great to use for some clients since it is so easy and quick to set up. It is best for clients that live in the area since they do not recieve the exact address to the property they only receive the basic details and pictures.

However, for out of state clients we use what is called Tempo in San Diego. This search is more detailed and you can cut out more listings that do not pertain to the client like land leases and over 55 communities. The exact address does show and the clients love it because they can navigate through and save their favorites and so forth.

At times, I feel that the Tempo search is better because they are able to keep better track of listings they are serious about and leave notes to me about them and I can reply so easy. And, since I can cut out the little things like pets or parking or age restrictions it makes me look better.

My question is do you guys and gals have the same type of searches in your areas and do you use them the same way? Do you think you risk losing clients if you give them too much info like the address? Or do you think they would appreciate your helpful detailed search and be impressed and stay with you?

I use two levels of search in my site. For more sophisticated users, they can go to advanced search to get more refined database cut. However, I've found that the majority of my users just stick with the basic, no frill stuff.

I also agree, let them leave the complicated stuff to you! When you allow them too much access, it can bite you in the end!

The basic search works well for me although from time to time I add more detailed citeria to my searches.

One thing I have learned in life is to keep it simple...However with that being said there are specific clients that require a more sophisticated screening process...For those you must deliver...IMHO!
