Responding to my kvetching last night<\/a>, ShackPrices.com<\/a> today launched itself into a new ORbit among map-based real estate search pORtals — with OR without MLS access. Not satisfied with ORdinary searching, the Seattle-based company yesterday added a loosely-structure keywORd search. The search suppORted the AND and NOT logical operatORs, but the OR operatOR was left on the cutting room floOR.<\/p>\n

Until today, that is. This is email from ShackPrices.com co-founder Doug Cole:<\/p>\n

Doug here (the other half of ShackPrices), thanks for the kind words, just thought I’d let you know we just added the OR operator to ShackPrices, so now something like “fixer or tlc” works. Also to clarify we don’t have a way to group words together yet, so the example in your post the search “waterfront, -shake roof” actually goes through more like “waterfront and roof, not shake”. It’s something I’d really like to fix soon, but we have to pick our battles since there are only two of us, and that one missed the first round.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So: I immediately put the booger to the test. This is from my FindTenants bot, which runs on the Arizona Regional Multiple Listings Service. The actual bot is much more stringent than this, but what is shown here is a search that is run into the Realtor’s Remarks section of the listing to determine if a potential investment property is in fact tenant-occupied:<\/p>\n

rented OR leased OR renter OR long term renter OR long-term renter OR tenant OR lease ends OR lease agreement OR tenants in place OR rented OR leased OR lease until OR lease til<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What did ShackPrices.com turn up? Rain, snow — and tenants…
