better way to search craigslist
 

just what it says. 50's trucks don't pop up very often around here and I like to look at them. so i found this and it searches all craigslists in a defined distance around your zip. SearchTempest - The EASY way to search Craigslist

This one's better:

Search Everything on Craigslist,Search all of Craigslist

it is definately faster with less stuff on the screen.

that is a good link Ibuzzard

There was a similar site called Craigslook (IIRC) that got put out of business not long ago by CL's threat of legal action. Makes me wonder if these others might face the same because they use the CL name in their formats. What I've been doing since that page got shut down is to do a Google search for the subject at site:craigslist.org. For instance, "Ford Marmon Herrington site:craigslist.org". It gives nationwide postings too, but I'll be comparing the methods to see if one or the other yields better search results. Stu

I just tried that craigslistcrawler. Although it's simpler, I'm still partial to searchtempest because it lets you do a search around your home zip code and the results get farther and farther away in a target-like fashion as you go down the list. But, I can see how that crawler would be better if you're looking for that rare piece and don't care how far away it might be.

just tried this found parts I want/need..but the dang e-mail wont work from mexico..is a filter thing??or am i doing something wrong again??rust free cab with doors ..350 bucks!!! AARRGGGGHhhh gimme a wrench I know how to use that!!!

I like the Mash
site mash : : combined classified and auction listings

it searches just the truck areas of both epay and craigslist. You can sort by area like southwest United states, Arizona, North east, etc.

WARNING: I used the tempest search and that is how I found my truck. This is a very dangerous tool and will set you up to consume a lot of money and time......:-X10

I use allofcraigs.com - Search ALL of Craigslist ... Warning!!! use at own risk... Not resposible for others spending!

There must be a bunch of these apps out there now...seems like CL would get the hint and build it into their own software. Here's onw that I use Nationwide Craigslist Search Engine - CI

I like the using the Firefox, that way you can scroll through all the listings and see sneak peaks of the images without having to open them.

Craiglook worked really well I am bummed its gone

Me too, it's "Claz.com" now but it's only searching backpage.com and a few other small ones, not c-list.

And yes, why hasn't Craigslist figured this out yet? I live in WY and we're all in the middle of nowhere up here, Billings, MT has 100k ppl in it and that is the biggest city in a 3 state area. So when I post something for sale I have to post it in the WY, MT & SD craigslists to get it any sort of exposure at all. Also, since there aren't any ppl and there's so much land it's nothing for us to drive a few hundred miles to pick up a part, shoot, we drive a couple hundred to get to Target, any mall, Best Buy, Sears etc. But I have to make all my listings different because C-list kicks out duplicates :-banghead
