Search all of Craigslist with SearchTempest
Monday August 30, 2010, from Wendy Boswell, Ask.com
SearchTempest lets you search as much or as little of Craigslist as you possibly can handle, for any category, whether it be jobs, real estate, stuff for sale, etc. Here's how a basic search on SearchTempest works:
- Key your location into the "Where" search field. Using the drop-down menu right beneath the search field, decide how far or near you'd like your search to range. You have the option of just a few miles to anywhere Craigslist roams within Canada, the United States, or Mexico (not sure why Europe, Africa, and other countries outside the range of North America weren't included).
- Type what you're looking for, say, a new iPhone or a leather couch or a new car, into the "What" field. You can get as advanced or as vague as you want to be here (note: usually, starting out a little vague rather than exceedingly detailed will bring back better search results).
- Click "Search" and you'll see your results, which will start at the Craigslist closest to you and fan out from there. SearchTempest gives you quite a few options for manipulating your search results: you can map something, get directions, delete a location you don't want, sort by date, best price, best match, state, distance, size; you can even get anRSS feed for results you'd like to keep track of.
