Can you search craigslist in it's entirety or do you have to search through each individual location?

Now there's a GREAT utility. I just love it when the web works.
Whew !!! Quite a few Guilds on Craiglist nationwide. Several of them I'll betcha are screamin deals.
If ya'll think E bay presents some honesty & integrity issues better take warning, to the best of my knowledge Craigslist has absolutely no dispute process or protection.
Here's part of their discussion on fraud:
Avoiding scams and fraud craigslist help forum
You can sidestep would-be scammers by following these common-sense rules:
DEAL LOCALLY WITH FOLKS YOU CAN MEET IN PERSON - follow this one simple rule and you will avoid 99% of the scam attempts on craigslist.
NEVER WIRE FUNDS VIA WESTERN UNION, MONEYGRAM or any other wire service - anyone who asks you to do so is a scammer.
FAKE CASHIER CHECKS & MONEY ORDERS ARE COMMON, and BANKS WILL CASH THEM AND THEN HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE when the fake is discovered weeks later.
CRAIGSLIST IS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY TRANSACTION, and does not handle payments, guarantee transactions, provide escrow services, or offer "buyer protection" or "seller certification"
NEVER GIVE OUT FINANCIAL INFORMATION (bank account number, social security number, eBay/PayPal info, etc.)
AVOID DEALS INVOLVING SHIPPING OR ESCROW SERVICES and know that ONLY A SCAMMER WILL "GUARANTEE" YOUR TRANSACTION.

Yes but...
In all my dealings on Craigslist as a buyer or seller, I've never had a problem. That includes buying and selling sports tickets cross country, and one of my favorite purchases ever, my X-175. Would this happen on eBay? The seller brought the guitar to my office, then told me to keep it for a while to see if I liked it. We've since become friends and we plan to start jamming together soon.

David, I'm not sure I'm getting how that page is any different. I select a region, or all, search for Guild in musical instruments, & it simply opens all off the selected area's mainpages. I'm not getting any search results unless I go into each one & do the search again. Am I missing something?

No problems here - works like a charm - enter <guild><for sale/wanted><musical instruments>, check the locations, and up they come. Nifty.

Search ?

It seems to work better when you check several individual locations instead of checking "all" or a region.
I just tried Los Angeles. Atlanta, SF, Seattle, Chicago and New York and it worked fine.

Another thing to do is get an RSS reader. I use http://sage.mozdev.org/. Do your search and then save the results in the format that the reader understands, open the reader to display the results. It's a bit cumbersome but not too much.
It beats the heck out of individual searched.

Yea, most of the time Crazedlist.org for me it seems to be not working. However, the person mentions you can create a RSS feed for it. I use Firefox, the best browser out there and it has an add in that allows RSS feeds. So I followed the directions and get the information in an RSS feed and its actually easy and better then the other way. 8)
