why does the Craiglist search suck?

seriously..i type in what i am looking for like "santa cruz mountain bike"..seems simple enough right? why must i wade thru so many things? like 1981 corvette, to bullit rye posters..i dont get it.

is there a better way to search Craiglist?

Because people 'keyword spam' and the search engine isn't smart enough to work around it

Search by title, suggest "santa cruz" in the bikes for sale.

JavaBrewer has it, use the titles to narrow the search down.

Use Google Advanced Search
Google Advanced Search

In the "all these words:" field put in:
santa cruz mountain bike

In the site "site or domain:" field put in:
craigslist.org
or you can limit it to a particular craigslist site

On the "last update:" field, choose what you want.

Ditto. Without searching titles, it looks for EVERY keyword in your search in the text of every ad. So you get a lot of totally irrelevant junk.
