search engine help

I notice some properties can be searched for on Air B&B by just listing their property name--which is what I'd love to do. My property is Honeysuckle Hill, but I've tried making that my listing header, putting it in my listing description, but that name still doesn't come up when I search Air B&B listings. Any suggestions?

@Patricia744 The problem is that the search function primarily relies on location relying on Google Maps, not by listing name.  I just entered Honeysuckle Hill and got lots of streets, roads, etc. and got results from California to Tennesee.   If you want friends or family to be able to zero in to your listing give them the web link to your listing.  It looks like this: 

www.airbnb.com/rooms/xxxxxxx where the x's are numbers unique to your listing.  It is in the URL when you look at a preview of your listing on a laptop/PC. On the app you can share the link.  

The search function is designed to assist guests to find a listing that matches their preferences for location, amenities, property type, etc.  If I were looking for a place to stay in Budapest or Sioux Falls, I wouldn't know the name of any listings.  

This link might give you some insight into how the search function is designed:

Hope this helps!
