Conversion Kit: Property Finder

A fast, searchable dropdown of your rentals that you drop anywhere with a shortcode, so a guest can type a property name and jump straight to its page.

What it does #

Property Finder renders a searchable dropdown of your properties. A guest starts typing a rental name, the list filters live, and selecting a result takes them straight to that property’s page. It is a lightweight “go directly to the place I already have in mind” tool, ideal for headers, landing pages, and “find your rental” sections.

Unlike a full search experience, this is deliberately simple and quick. It is for guests who know (or half-know) which property they want and just need a fast path to it.

Key points:

• Placed anywhere with the [hrck_property_finder] shortcode.
• Filters the list as the guest types and navigates to the chosen property.
• Supports multiple instances on the same page, each working independently.
• Caches the property list for speed and refreshes automatically when you add or edit properties.

This tool does not capture email and does not require guest accounts. It is a navigation aid, not a CTA.

How to turn it on #

1. Open the Conversion Kit tools #

Go to HomeRunner -> Conversion Kit and find Property Finder in the tool list.

2. Enable the tool #

Toggle Property Finder on.

3. Place the shortcode #

Add [hrck_property_finder] to any page, post, or widget area where you want the search dropdown to appear.

Shortcode options #

You can scope which properties appear and customize the placeholder per instance:

• placeholder="Find your villa…" overrides the default prompt text for that one dropdown.
• city, state, tag, type, amenity, group, and location limit the list to a taxonomy term (for example city="Austin").
• ids="12,34,56" shows only those specific properties.
• exclude="78,90" hides specific properties.
• limit="25" caps how many properties the dropdown will include.

Example: [hrck_property_finder city="Austin" placeholder="Search Austin rentals…"]

Settings #

• Default Placeholder: the prompt text shown in the search box (default “Search by Rental Name…”). Override per shortcode with the placeholder attribute.
• No-Match Message: shown inside the dropdown when nothing matches the search.
• Colors: background, focused background, border, text, placeholder, icon, and hover colors so the dropdown matches your brand.
• Border Radius and Max Width: shape and size of the box.
• Max Dropdown Height: how tall the results list can grow before it scrolls.
• Cache duration: the property list is cached for 60 minutes by default and refreshes automatically when you add or edit properties.

Tips #

• Put a Property Finder in your site header so returning guests can jump to a known rental from any page.
• Use the taxonomy attributes to build location-specific finders, for example one finder per destination page scoped with city.
• You can place several finders on one page (a different city on each) without them interfering with each other.
• For a deeper, attribute-based discovery experience rather than name search, look at the other discovery tools in your Conversion Kit lineup.
