    Question POLL - Best CL Search Engine?

    Polling all you craigslist scanners - what is the best search engine you have found? Searchtempest used to be pretty good, but have made changes lately that make searching either useless or cumbersome.

    P.S. There is a "sticky" on this topic at the top of the Craigslist forum...

    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

    I've been using the CraigPro iPhone app. Good for local searches but not for country wide as you have have to select the towns you want to search.

    I just ran CraigsPal this morning. The version I use is the free version of the software. It did take awhile again checking for updates. The search still works. However, there is a message on the side bar that states use of the software is strictly forbidden and to please remove it from your computer.

    Since I'm only interested in local listings I just click the "FOR SALE" box and then enter "pachinko" into the search.

    Trust me you will soon be searching nation wide. Some cool things pop up for sale in other states.

    Ahh.. I was wondering what was going on - thought it was me.
