Exact Match: You can also use the exact match box to narrow your search (for example, if you check the exact match box and search for "dog" then only listings with "dog" in them will show up. Listings with "dogs" or "hot dog" in them would not).

Case Sensitive: If you you check the case sensitive box, capitalization will matter (for example, if you search for "Star", then listings with the word "star" will not show up).

Date Range Searching: In these two fields, you can search the YAWD.com for only those properties posted within a specific date range. To do so, you must specify a beginning date and an ending date. The script will return all the entries which fall within that date range. The format is MM/DD/YYYY (we're Y2K compliant!), although you can also use the last two digits only for the year. For example, March 15, 1998 would be entered as 03/15/1998 (but 03/15/98 would also be acceptable). By default, the script automatically puts the current date in the End Date field, but you can change this to anything you want.

Price Range: Search for items within a specific price range. In these two fields, you can enter the price range that you are interested in. For example, to find items priced between $5,000 and $10,000, type "$5,000" in the "Lowest Acceptable Price" box and "$10,000" in the "Highest Acceptable Price" box.

Sort by which field: Here, you can specify how the script should sort your results.

Reverse Sort?: Here, you can choose to have the script sort in reverse order. For example, if you choose to sort by last name and check the Reverse Sort box, the results page will show properties of people whose last names begin with Z first, and then backwards through the alphabet. For numbers or dates, the script normally shows properties with the lowest numbers or oldest dates first, so checking the Reverse Sort box will cause it to display properties with the highest numbers or most recent dates first.

Properties per page: Here, you can choose how many properties you want the script to display on each page. You can choose to display as few as 10 or as many as 20 properties per page (the default setting is 10). If your search results in more than this number of properties, the results page will tell you your total number of matches and then state "This page will show you properties 1 to 10" (or whatever number you chose here). You will also be given a button at the bottom of the page that you can click on to "See the next 10 hits" (or however many properties per page you chose here). If the results page tells you that you had more hits than you chose to display, you can always go back and increase the number of properties to display per page or narrow your search criteria by filling in more of the search fields so that fewer properties will be displayed.

Results Format: Here, you can choose whether the properties should be displayed in the Standard (short) format or the Long format. The standard format gives you nice, concise tables that allow you to quickly compare key features and sort by these features, as well as links to the full version of each property. If you want to see the full version of all properties right away, then choose the Long format.
