By default, your IDX search forms will list all the Counties in your MLS where properties are available, and exclude Counties where no properties are available. If you have certain areas you want to exclude from a user’s search options, or certain areas you want to always include, you can set up a Custom County List. You can choose from the list of Counties serviced by a particular MLS, and choose from the IDX Broker list of Counties. Note that the MLS list will display only Counties that contain at least one listing. If you don't see your County on the MLS list, choose a State and select a County from the IDX Broker list of Counties.


  1. Go to My Preferences --> Custom County Lists, and select County from the menu under the "Custom Search List" header text.
  2. Use the list of current MLS counties or select a state from the drop-down menu. The center column will populate with counties from that state.
  3. Select one or more counties "Add Selected Counties To List" button on the left to move them into the Custom Counties column.
  4. To remove cities and counties from columns, highlight them and click the Delete Selected Cities button to move them back into the left column.
  5. The Custom County List can be re-ordered by using the green arrow buttons.
  6. IDX will automatically save the list.

You may choose which pages use your custom county list. Your Custom List Settings are located directly underneath the custom list. Select Yes or No in each column to determine if the Basic and/or Advanced Search forms will use the custom county list, and if those lists will be sorted alphabetically or in a custom ordering. If a page is using a Search List Filter, this will override any filters you’ve created.
