Is there another well-functioning engine to search Craigslists nationwide?

How about searchtempest.com, allofcraigs.com, craigzoom.com, or jaxed.com?

craigslist is always working to defeat those type of site-searchers.
. . .sure, it's 'the information age' where we expect always better search tools. But, it's quickly becoming the 'information CONTROL age.' ...as in "We control the horizontal . . We control the vertical...

I've now tried all the options here...thank you for all the suggestions. Unfortunately, craiglook was very fast, accurate and easily tailored as well as capable of saving searches. IMO, it was the best site for searching craigslist by a fair margin. I can't understand why a popular but marginally searchable classifieds site would extinguish an engine designed to search them efficiently.

The issue is very likely craiglook deriving revenue from both free and paid content aggregated by craigslist. Either one is going to be an issue. Also possible that the types of searches the alternate sites provide are a resource drain on craigslist's DB servers.
