How to search on craigslist?

[plastic854]

will - for searching craigslist nationwide, I use Google and type in "site:craigslist.org" a space, and then the name of the item I'm looking for.

For example, if I'm looking for a Mercedes R350, I type in "site:craigslist.org Mercedes R350" (leave out the quotation marks) and Google will give me every craigslist ad across the country that includes those terms.

If you don't want to search the entire country, you can set Google to search "Nearby" by City, Region and State.

I usually limit my searches to the previous week, to avoid expired listings.

Hope that's helpful and Happy New Year!
