Location: closely held secret | Short answer... no. At least none that I've found.
There are couple sites that make it easier, like crazedlist.org and craigslittlehelper.com (my fav), but because of the nature of craigslist (isolated servers) you can't get compiled results. There have been a few efforts to do this, but as soon as CL gets wind of it, they block them, claiming they want to preserve their 'local' community nature. |

Location: NW Washington State | I guess it's the standard answer for any search- try Google. Type in craigslist ovation and you'll get quite a few hits. The results may not be completely up-to-date but it looks like Google crawls Craigslist frequently.

You have to follow the instructions on changing your browser settings located in the green banner at the top of the page. I use Mozilla and it works fine.

Location: Atlanta | Here's a program I use. You install it and it searches everything and creates a page of links with every item that matches your search, one city at a time. The only bad thing is that you can't add price constraints.

Location: closely held secret | You can use google and type in
adamas OR ovation site:craigslist.org
Of course you can replace "adamas or ovation" with whatever you want. If you want to search for "any of these" multiple words be sure to put "or" between them (adamas OR ovation). If you want to search for "all of these" combinations of words put "and" between them (honda AND shadow AND 1100).
If you want to search a particular craigslist server, put the city in the domain name (site:chicago.craigslist.org). Of course there has to be a CL server with that name, but that should be obvious by the search results.
You might get some expired listings, but overall it works pretty well.
Oh, and both Crazedlist and Craigs Helper allow you to put in min/max prices. And you don't have to install anything... |
