Is it just me, but for most folks it is largest asset they are trying to sell. Why go on-line and X out my home? Either favorite it or do nothing.
When I was looking for a new home last year, I was searching in a particular school zone. This was a popular school, so there were homes coming on the market every week and homes selling every week. The areas I was looking in could have anywhere from about 7-30 homes in any given week. With that much volatility, I was checking multiple times a day. There were homes that were clearly not right for me even though it fit several of my search criteria. After a few weeks of searching, I figured out about teh X-out. Once I determined that the house was not right for me, I would X it out. This saved me a lot of time as those homes that were sitting for a little longer, but were not right for me did not show up in my search and I was able to look for the homes that were right for me without having to sift/search through a listing of listings that I had already seen and ruled out. After I started X'ing out, my list was much shorter and I had a better chance of catching new listings
It's not about you, OP. It's about what I want a search engine to do and how to make my house search easier.
