How do you use Draw A Search?

Conceived over a pint and brought to life at our first ever developer ‘hack-a-thon’ back in July 2010, ‘Draw A Search’ has without a doubt earned its place in our trophy cabinet.

This feature, allowing property seekers to draw a custom search area, has proved to be one of our most popular yet and we were staggered to last week find out that there have now been over 1 million drawn search areas created (well to be precise, there are 1,117,410)!

So how are Rightmove users using Draw A Search to find their dream home?

We took a look through the draw-a-search archives for a sneak peak to find out just that!

	To this user, living close to the airport seems to be their primary need
	Saved as ‘ok areas’, this user clearly dreams of a live by the sea
	Are you like this user who is keen to live near their place of work?
	This user loves KFC so much, that they want to live next door!
	Desperate to find their dream home, this user has resorted to a triangular area!
	We like how this user has carefully drawn around the park, even though there’s unlikely to be properties there!
