Important Notes:

1. Search only works on a web server. You will not be able to preview Search on your computer but it will work on your website after you have published. If you click the search button when previewing the pages generated by Jade, you will probably see code. This is because your web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) cannot interpret the code on its own. There is software (PHP) on your web host's computer that understands this code.

2. The overall style of the search form and search results page is based on your Category page settings. The overall style of the details page is based on your Property page settings. A professional web designer can customize the search form.
