Listings also flow to [Cribio](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00hjfhp/cribio).com, the national consumer search site of the Broker Public Portal MLS network, where they are searchable across 537 real estate markets in 24 states.\n\n## How Smart Search Matches Buyer Requests\n\nSmart Search combines price, bedrooms and property details in a single search, supports more than 50 languages and offers the full experience on a phone. A shopper looking for a three-bedroom home under $300,000 with a fireplace and an attached garage can enter those requirements together rather than work through separate filters. Location requests can include proximity to Lake Lansing or walking distance to Michigan State, and results can be viewed on a map in relation to a workplace or school.\n\nAdditional criteria include architectural style, fenced yards, new listings, price reductions and open houses scheduled for the coming weekend. Buyers can describe those preferences in their own language and contact the listing agent directly with questions about a property.\n\n\"Finding a home starts with describing what matters to you,\" said Meghan Webber, CEO of the Greater Lansing Association of REALTORS®. \"Smart Search lets buyers do exactly that. They describe the home they want, and the site matches it to accurate, current listings from the MLS.\"\n\n## Cribio.com Widens Seller Reach\n\nDistribution through Cribio.com extends sellers' exposure beyond the Greater Lansing area to shoppers in other markets, including people planning to relocate to Mid-Michigan. The national site is powered by MLS data through Broker Public Portal, a nationwide alliance of MLSs and brokerages founded in 2014. Its flagship Cribio.com platform serves 440,000 real estate agents through MLS partnerships.\n\n\"Accurate data only helps buyers when they can find what they are looking for,\" Webber said. \"Smart Search makes MLS listings easier to search, and Cribio.com puts Mid-Michigan sellers in front of a far wider pool of buyers.\"\n\n## Cribio's Earlier MLS Partnerships\n\nCribio's national footprint also rests on earlier MLS agreements, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). In April 2026, NorthstarMLS entered a strategic partnership with Broker Public Portal to use BPP technology to build a next-generation consumer-facing search experience and integrate its listings into Cribio's national footprint. That same month, California Real Estate Brokers, majority shareholder of MetroList MLS, became a unit holder in Broker Public Portal and integrated MetroList listings into Cribio.com, and Cribio launched the MetroList MLS integration on its consumer platform.\n\n## Other Search Launches This Month\n\nGlassdoor launched Glassdoor Recruiter on October 16, 2026, a tool that surfaces roles matching experience and workplace insights, [EIN Presswire](https://www.einnews.com/article/950124914/live) reported.
