Search by MLS number for both RANW and WIREX Listings Members have asked how to search by MLS number for listings from both RANW and from WIREX. It's easy to do - just use the Power Search at the top of your Paragon screen!In the Power Search, enter the MLS numbers separated by commas. The Power Search will create a drop-down list of the individual listings, but also include a Listings link with the number of listings. Click on the Listings link to open a spreadsheet that includes all of the listings as your search results. Members can then use these search results for review, email, add to client listing carts, etc. How to Limit Your Searches to only RANW Listings or Members (when needed) & not include WIREX listings or members By default, WIREX listings and members are included in searches. There may be some occasions when members would like to limit their searches to only RANW data or combinations of certain MLSs. Depending upon what part of the Paragon system you're in (Searches vs Membership vs Statistics), members can use either the Originating MLS field or the Board ID field to accomplish these tasks. Click Here to open a new help document on Filtering Listings. Not Sure How to Customize Your Search Screens or Results Spreadsheet? If the Originating MLS or Board ID fields aren't already on your search screen and you need to add them, or if you'd like to do other customizing to search on or show in results the fields YOU want to see, there is a help document available to show you how.
