Adjust Search Form Fields and Appearance
Reorder and remove fields, tune spacing and backgrounds, and give one form its own look, all with a live preview and nothing to re-paste.
In short
- Every form opens in the Live Editor.
- Drag fields to reorder, remove what you don't need.
- Colors and fonts come from Global Styles.
- The Appearance tab overrides them for one widget.
Reorder and remove fields
Every layout from Search Forms, Every Layout Explained opens in the Live Editor in your dashboard. You decide which fields appear and in what order: drag to rearrange, remove what your market does not need, and watch the form update in the preview as you work, including mobile view. A lean form for a landing page and a full one for the homepage can be two widgets built from the same layout.
This is a finished form, live on this page. Open the price and the beds and baths filters to see the fields you would be arranging in the editor.
Two levels of styling
Colors, fonts and spacing come from Global Styles, so every form matches your brand without extra work. On top of that, each widget has its own Appearance tab for the exceptions: adjust spacing, alignment, backgrounds, borders and radius, or switch between a transparent and a solid style for hero sections. Those changes apply only to that one widget.
The same search engine with a different field set and its own look. Both forms on this page come from one account.
Nothing to re-paste
The embed code on your website points at the widget, not at a copy of it. Change the fields or the styling in the editor and the form on your live site follows on its own, with no re-embedding, as explained in Find and Paste Your IDX Embed Codes. You can see the finished forms on our demo site.
