CraigsList Search Engine
AllofCraigs is another CraigsList search engine built on a Custom Google Search.
It also allows you to query specify all Craigslist and other ad sites and get results pulled from a custom Google search.
A Twitter stream tool allows you to see tweets that contain the word Craiglist. However, you also get Tweets that just mention the word Craigslist not ones with links to ads.
A search for the words toronto incall returns many, many hits in this fast changing type of ad, while Search All Craig’s returns none. This might be useful for searching Craigslist for telephone numbers. My early searches for telephone numbers seem more successful using this than Craigslist itself.
A new Craigslist search engine using a Google custom search has surfaced. Supposedly, that means no more searches using site:craigslist.org “search terms”. Search All Craig’s puts a convenient front end to a cross-city Craig’s search that uses Google on the back end.
I can’t really recommend this thing. If you do a search for the words toronto incall it returns only 2 hits. If you go to the Toronto erotic services section and do a search for incall you get over 1200 results. The flaw is the rapid change that occurs on Craigslist and how Google updates its index. This isn’t the tool to use if you are looking for a telephone number used in a Craigslist ad. The search site:craigslist.org “search terms” searches has the same flaw. However, in the case of site:craigslist.org toronto incall, this search string provided more results than Search All Craig’s (9 with this search and 2 with Search All Craig’s).
