Abstract: A geographic-specific information search system and method comprising a World Wide Web home page and associated script files for searching for housing information in a desired geographic region. The system is configured to display a graphical map and to allow the user to narrow the geographic search area to the desired region. The system is also configured to accept a query criteria and search a database containing property listings for properties listed in the desired region meeting the entered search criteria. A geographic map of the desired region including properties found during the search is displayed and the user is allowed to select properties from the map with a pointing device and subsequently view information describing the selected properties.
