      Fortunately I don’t have a website using a feed that puts the zero in front of the L ID. Still, I use a custom subheader on the the L ID search page to let visitors know what a proper MLS ID looks like.

      “Valid MLS numbers are 7 digits long and begin with 95. To enter multiple numbers separate them by commas.”

      Until a better alternative surfaces you could do something similar and mention the zero has to be entered in front.

      I am just saying you could eliminate that need all together simply by changing the search query used on the database. No need for a crazy sub-header message and confusing your users. Things need to be simple, simple, simple. Because the truth is, you can instruct users how to do something, but they are most likely not going to read it and then just wonder why no results were returned.
