Advanced Search Functions Video Courtesy Black Knight.
A new way to customize your searches in Paragon has arrived! These Advanced Search functions will allow you to better define how you want your results filtered.
What do they look like?
Freeform Fields
Examples of these types of search fields are Parcel # and Address.
NEW Advanced Options
Contains: Will behave the same as it always has.
Equals: Will make the search literal. (I.E. Input "Hyacinth" into address and it will look for an exact address spelled "Hyacinth," excluding all other results).
Not Equal To: The opposite of Equals, this will exclude the value inputted and include results that don't match.
Contains All: Acts like Contains, except it takes the entire supplied value. (I.E. The Input "Red Door" under Contains would look at "Red" or "Door", while under Contains All, it would look at both "Red" and "Door").
Starts With: Will only look for results where the it starts with the supplied criteria.
Not Starting With: Just like Equals or Not Equal To, this is the exclusionary version of Starts With, allowing you to exclude results that start with the supplied criteria.
Does Not Contain: This is the exclusionary of Contains, allowing you to supply criteria you don't want included in the results.
Look Up Fields
Examples of lookup fields include MLS #, Type, Area, City, County.
NEW Advanced Options
Equals: Will behave the same as it always has.
Not Equal To: Will exclude the supplied criteria. (I.E. If you wanted to look for all listings in Marion county but exclude Keizer results, you could choose Not Equal To in conjunction with an Equals County criteria).
Date Range Fields
Examples of date range fields include Listing Date, Status Date.
NEW Advanced Options
Date Range: Will behave the same as it always has.

Year-to-Date: Will look at all matching results upto current day within current year. (I.E. If the Present is 2023, it will grab results matching 1/1/2023-Current Day)
