Last year I saw a post refferring to making a global search on Craigslist straight from the Google search entry bar. Can't remember how it was done or find the post. I would really appreciate a reminder. Thanks!

item description you are looking for site:craigslist.org

for instance for table saws

table saws site:craigslist.org

I use it often for 'price comparisons'.

I also use Search Tempest (http://www.searchtempest.com/)to search CL, it allows you to search all the local CL's within a certian radius of your Zip code, it's very handy.

Snarfer also works similarly.

You can also enter by state and have multiple states searched. I prefer this method to the global method since I am usually looking for machines and though I am willing to travel I don't want to see a huge bargain 2,500 miles from me, it is just depressing. :)
