A flexible listings search system can receive and return results for flexible listing searches. For example, the system can perform micro-flexible searches (e.g., plus or minus a few days) or super flexible searches (e.g., a time span in one or more months), using listing arrays that can be rapidly accessed to efficiently identify and return results. The search system can further perform flexible destination searches for different categories of accommodations for display in a viewport (e.g., map bounding box). The system can further perform fuzzy searches to identify and return broader results for flexible queries.

Flexible listings searches

A system that enables searching for listings for accommodation reservations is described. The system receives, by a network site of a listing network platform, input comprising search criteria and identifies a plurality of listings matching the search criteria. The system generates a graphical user interface comprising a plurality of graphical objects each associated with a respective one of the identified plurality of listings. The system determines that the search criteria satisfies an amenity criterion and, in response, causes one or more amenities associated with an individual listing of the identified plurality of listings to be presented in an individual graphical object of the plurality of graphical objects associated with the individual listing.

Searching listings for reservations

A system that enables searching for representing listings for accommodation reservations on a map is described. The system receives, by a network site of a listing network platform, input comprising search criteria associated with a geographical region and identifies a plurality of listings matching the search criteria. The system identifies a first subset listings of the plurality of listings that is each associated with a respective location that is within a boundary associated with the geographical region and a second subset listings of the plurality of listings that is each associated with a respective location that is outside the boundary associated with the geographical region. The system visually distinguishes the first subset of listings from the second subset of listings on a map-based graphical user interface (GUI) that represents the plurality of listings matching the search criteria.
