Searching Seayora: Pages, Laws, Guides, Addresses and Your Own Records

One search box finds Seayora’s pages, the landlord and tenant laws for every state, help guides, housing data for every town, trades and the tools an address asks for — and, signed in, your own records. What is saved when you search.

The search at the top of seayora.com looks through everything the website publishes: its pages and pricing, every feature, the landlord and tenant laws for every state, the help guides, articles, housing data for every town and ZIP code, trades and licensing, and rentals by city. Signed in, the search inside your account — on the website and in the iPhone and Android apps — finds your own records first and shows the website’s results under them, as "On seayora.com".

Opening it

  • On seayora.com, press Search in the top bar, or press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows) or / anywhere on a page.
  • Inside your account on the website, press Search in the top bar, or ⌘K / Ctrl+K.
  • In the iPhone and Android apps, open Search.

What it understands

  • An address. Type a street address — "350 5th Ave, New York" — and the first results are the tools for it: who owns it and, in New York City, its Local Law 97 check. Choosing one starts the lookup with the address already filled in.
  • A state. "Security deposit Texas" or "TX late fee" puts that state’s rules first.
  • A trade and a ZIP code. "Plumber 07030" offers Find a pro near that ZIP code.
  • A misspelling. A word Seayora does not know is matched to the closest one it does, and the results say what they were for.
  • Part of a word. The last word is completed as you type.

What is saved when you search

What you type into Seayora’s searches and lookups — this search, the owner lookup, the Local Law 97 check, the housing data search, Find a pro, the rental search and questions to the guides — is saved, with how many results it found and the result you opened, so Seayora can see what people look for and what they cannot find. A search that suggests results as you type is saved once you stop typing or open a result, never letter by letter.

  • Email addresses, phone numbers, Social Security and taxpayer numbers, card numbers and anything shaped like a password are removed before anything is kept. On the address searches the street address and ZIP code are kept, because they are the search.
  • Signed in, it is kept with your account. Signed out, with a Global Privacy Control signal, or after choosing "Essentials only", it is kept without any account. Your IP address is never kept with a search.
  • After 24 months the account is removed from it, and only the words, the search box and the date remain.
  • Only Seayora’s own team sees searches. They are not sold, not used for advertising and never shown to other customers.

To delete the searches kept with your account, open Settings → Your data and choose "Searches and lookups". Closing your account deletes them too. The Privacy Policy, section 10Z2, has the details.

Frequently asked questions

Does an address I search end up in a web address?

No. When a search result starts a lookup for an address, the address is handed to the page directly, never put in the page’s web address, so it is not kept in your browser history or in page statistics.

Can other customers see what I searched?

No. Searches are read only by Seayora’s own team, to improve search and find what is missing.

Why did search find nothing?

Try fewer words, a street address, a state, or a trade and a ZIP code. A search that finds nothing is one of the things Seayora looks at to decide what to add next.
