Property Demo – the Listings Search doesn’t work

Hi.
We have been approached about a website for a Cottage Letting agency. We don’t need search but this demo looks ideal.
However it got us thinking about promoting this type of website, as many out there (not the big names, but independents) have rubbish websites.

The issue is, the search. you can enter the dropdown, but when you click search and says “thanks your message has been sent”…. should that not then show the results of the… search?

Our idea was maybe to get a copy of Porto on a subdomain, so we can use certain demos to add “demos” on our website, but this search issue.. is a bit of a problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply.
So bottom line: you are showing a search feature on a demo that doesn’t work, and would cost more money…. to make work.

If I may add – would it not be better to not show a search form at all?

Id’ strongly suggest you enable something in the Search options, so that this Search Form, searches. Else it is slightly mis-leading. :(
