[Freerealty] Upcoming feature(s)

[Jake Ortman]

Nothing nearly that complicated, as I don't need to target it down by dates
at this point (as that would have to tie into our reservation system, that's
a whole other complicated animal that's already being taken care of in
separate code). Basically, all I want to be able to do is put a low and a
high price for a home and have searches by price will get something that's
in that range, and not just one number.

For examples:

Home A: 150/night
Home B: 170-180/night
Home C: 170/night
Home D: 195/night

A user searches for price range of 150-170, they would get A and B. They
search for 150-195, they get them all. They search for 175-190, they just
get B. They search for 180-200, they get B and D. 

Many homes would have the same high/low price, so I would probably just put
the same price in both fields.

See where I'm going with this?

-Jake

I'm sure it's possible. We may have to tweak the database some- 
inevitable I'm sure. How do you see this working? Perhaps with the 
rentals of this type there needs to be another table or two dealing with 
dates/rate codes. How elaborate are your needs?
