Advanced Search Implementation

The property search system is powered by Elasticsearch, providing fast, relevant results even with complex search criteria.

Search Features:

  • Geospatial Search: Find properties within a specific radius or draw custom search areas on the map
  • Faceted Search: Filter by property type, bedrooms, bathrooms, amenities, etc.
  • Price Range: Set minimum and maximum budget constraints
  • Saved Searches: Save search criteria and receive notifications for new matching listings
  • Autocomplete: Type-ahead suggestions for locations, neighborhoods, and landmarks

Technical Implementation:

The search system uses:

  • Custom Elasticsearch mappings optimized for real estate data
  • Geohash grid aggregations for map clustering
  • Synonym expansion for location names and amenities
  • Boosting factors based on listing freshness and completeness
  • Query time boosting for premium listings

Performance Optimizations:

Search results are delivered in under 200ms, even for complex queries, through:

  • Index sharding strategy optimized for read-heavy workloads
  • Result caching for common searches
  • Asynchronous loading of result details
  • Pagination with cursor-based navigation
