Search All Craig’s: Search All Craigslist Sites at Once Using Google

Craigslist, as we know, is probably the most popular online classifieds site which has a wealth of information regarding products, events and services. Search All Craig’s is a website, a mashup would be a better term, which lets you search through all Craiglist sites at once and makes searching for a particular term across all the sub-sites within Craigslist a breeze. It applies a simple concept – combining Google Custom Search with Craigslist’s information database. And since it searches Craiglist with Google, the results are pretty good.

It also displays popular search terms and example keywords on the main page which when clicked can produce the desired results. If necessary there are additional options to refine your search results further.

The original search the entire craigslist is an easier site to use and has higher search engine rankings than all the other clones

I have tried all the “Craigslist searchers” and the one that impresses me the most is CraigsList Watcher. Most of the web-based apps will probably be shut down eventually and the client-based ones are poorly coded, feature-poor and not updated frequently by their authors. Heck, two well-known programs that I downloaded continually froze up and just did not work.

http://www.freecraigslistwatcher.com is where its at – hands down.

first-of-all, none of the sites that use Google to search all of Craigslist, are going to give you the best results.

However, on that note, if you want to use Google, http://allofcraigs.com uses just about every Google search parameter available and rolls them up into an easy-to-use site to search all of craigslist.

I suggest this simple tool http://www.seekyouritem.com to search all cities of craigslist.org. It can be used to search other popular free classifieds as well.

I use AllOfCraigslist.org

It’s easy and uses this Google technique without having to type the code every time.
