Hello,
My IDX/MLS feed provider's default search look up is $100,000 - $180,000 (any bathroom and any bedrooms) which in San Antonio, brings up some 3000 homes. Has anyone that has a IDX/MLS feed on their webpage thought, experimented or played around with their default settings to figure out if there is any correlations between my desired clientele base versus userability versus leads generated? Should I change my default search to the price range that I would like my clientele base to be in? Any thoughts? Thanks

Thanks for the input... Yes, changing the default search parameters is very easy.
All that I have to do is create a link with the parameters, by selecting the different options and pressing Search... The new web address now contains those search parameters that I wanted. I just save this as the link to my search page. Voilá! I can have one link defaulting to SFD homes 4br 2.5ba $200k and another to Condos 2-2 $150k and so on. I just recently removed the requirement to register... before it was only highly suggested, but users could bypass registration, if they found the button. Now there is no registration required at all. Anyway, I have seen an increase from 2-10 registering and some 25-50 anonymous IP's per day on my search page to over 100 anonymous guests per day for the past several days, still with 1-3 opting to register (mostly renters). Of the anonymous guests they apparantly just click Search and if what they are looking for isn't presented right there they don't continue looking. That is why I was thinking that maybe we aren't presenting what the majority are looking for. Thanks
