anyone know how to search craigslist nationwide?
it would be cool if you could search the entire craigslist database, instead of one county, city or state at a time. i bet there's a way to do that. any inside tips?

I'd like to know, too.
I have Googled on "Craigslist blow-up doll", for example,  and have gotten many hits nationwide. But not sure how to search directly.

That's one way, but a bit of work to search a state that has a lot of cities, for example, a search on the Land of the 911, California:
bakersfield chico fresno humboldt county inland empire los angeles merced modesto monterey bay orange county palm springs, CA redding reno / tahoe sacramento san diego san francisco bay area san luis obispo santa barbara stockton/tracy/manteca/lodi ventura county |

some areas are way worse than others, and take a lot of time to go through. that's why the original question.

There have been various meta-search tools that have popped up, but CraigsList keeps asking them to shut down in the spirit of keeping the system localised.

Ah, I get it now (duh). I wasn't sure why their search function was set up the way it was.
They try to discourage it from being anything more than local, to keep fraud down. Cash and carry transactions. |

Myself, I took the concept one step further. I setup an automated 'trawler' that goes out several times a day and searches for various keywords on various CraigsList sites, it emails me the results, and keeps and index of the ads it's already seen.

Umm...I think it was Craig.  Seriously, though...as the previous poster mentioned, it is set up like this for a reason. Local & personalized, kinda like an on-line classified ad/Pennysaver. I've used it a few times to post help-wanted ads. Received TONS of replies/resumes. The same ad in the local newspaper = $400! Last edited by Danny_Ocean; 11-11-2006 at 08:43 PM.. |
