Can a Lovable site show live MLS search with a map?

Yes. A Lovable site can show live MLS home search with a map by placing the RealSavvy idx-search widget: the loader script once in the head and an idx-search slot div on your search page. The widget decides which search your site uses and carries the MLS credit. Add it yourself or let Lovable's AI place it through the MCP connector. Hosted Savvy Studio sites get native search with a map built in.

How search gets onto the page

Search is a widget, not something Lovable builds from scratch. Your site's settings say which search it uses, and get_site reports that. The idx-search widget reads it and shows the right one. Where your MLS feed supports it, that is native search with a map rather than an iframe. Your job is just to give it a place on the page.

Steps to add search

  • Make a dedicated page for search, such as /search, with plenty of width
  • Add the RealSavvy loader script once in index.html or your root layout
  • Place the idx-search slot div from get_embed_code on that page
  • Link to the search page from your menu and from neighborhood pages
  • Publish and run check_install on the live page

Doing it with Lovable's AI

Connect the RealSavvy MCP connector to Lovable, then ask: "Add a home search page with a map and link it from the menu." The AI can call get_site to see which search your site uses, then get_embed_code to place it. Before a widget goes live, preview_widget tells you how many homes it will show, so a zero tells you something is not set up yet.

Common mistakes

  • Writing your own iframe to an IDX search URL
  • Putting a domain or URL into a widget config
  • Loading the script in several components instead of once
  • Squeezing the map into a narrow column

Does the map search need the IDX add-on?

Yes. Live MLS search comes with the IDX add-on: $99 a month or $990 a year plus a $99 one-time setup fee.

Can buyers save searches?

Saved searches are part of the IDX add-on, so buyers can keep track of homes that match what they want.

What if search shows zero homes?

That usually means the feed setup for your site is not finished. Check get_site, which reports how many homes are available, or contact support at support@realsavvy.com.
