Quick Setup Guide for IDXAddons Apps
- Last Updated April 09, 2025
🌟 Welcome to the Quick Setup Guide, your go-to resource for configuring the most essential apps in the IDXAddons platform. Whether you're just getting started or looking to optimize your IDX integration, this guide will walk you through the initial setup of each widget—quickly and clearly.
The following tools are covered:
- Search Tool - Customizable search widget for your website.
- Google Map Widget – An interactive map that displays your listings in a Google Map.
- Agent Information Widget – Displays agent contact details and links.
- Home Valuation Widget – Create a property valuation tool where clients can find their house's worth.
🔍 Search Tool
The Search Tool app allows you to quickly add a fully customizable property search widget to your website. You can control which fields appear, assign an agent, customize the style, and more—all without writing any code. Follow these simple steps to get started.
1. Access the AppLog in to your IDXAddons account and open the Search Tool app from your dashboard. This tool is designed to work seamlessly with your IDX Broker account.
2. Basic Setup
In the Setup tab, you can modify the placeholder text inside the search bar, helping users understand what to type (e.g., address, city, or ZIP code).
You can also select a custom city list from IDX Broker, assign an agent if you have an office account, choose a default sort option (like Newest Listings), and set the default listing status (such as Active or Pending).

Under the Search Fields tab, toggle on or off key search filters like beds, baths, minimum and maximum price. You can also control how property type appears—whether as tabs (Buy/Sell), a dropdown, or hidden altogether. For more flexibility, you can add advanced fields based on the selected MLS and property type.
This is an example of what it would look like with the advanced field option.

In the Search Criteria tab, you can define the default values for price, beds, and baths, and choose whether these fields should appear as dropdowns in your search tool.
- Min Price: Set the starting value users can select (default: 0).
- Max Price: Set the upper limit for pricing (default: $2,000,000).
- Price Increase Interval: Determines the steps between each price option (e.g., $100,000).
- Beds & Baths: Define the minimum and maximum values available for bedroom and bathroom filters (default: 0 to 10).

In the Style tab, choose a theme (currently only Basic is available) and customize your search tool’s appearance. Adjust background color, font, button color, and layout to match your brand. You also have the option to add custom CSS and JavaScript to fine-tune the design or behavior.

The Address Autocomplete tab helps improve search precision. By selecting the correct MLS and property type, your search tool can offer more relevant address suggestions as users type.

When your setup is complete, simply copy the provided code snippet and paste it into your website where you want the search tool to appear. Each tab generates its own code, giving you the flexibility to embed only the parts you need.
