Members KingVidiot Posted September 1, 2011 Members Share Posted September 1, 2011 In case you all didn't know, Jaxed was served a "cease and desist" notification from Craigslist to stop linking their items in the global search. There's a similar thread here: http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php?2819530-Anybody-use-jaxed.com-to-find-gear&highlight=Jaxed As a long time user this really sucks. I can see CL's point of view, but it sucks for users. There is no good way to do a global search in CL. Jaxed was great since it stored a history for eBay, CL, and kijiji. I hoped jaxed finds another way to search more sites cos' I'm lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rooftree Posted September 1, 2011 Members Share Posted September 1, 2011 I noticed this a few days ago. In reaction I looked around and found other options for searching CL. I don't want to post aspecific solution since it will likely get blocked by CL also. But here are instructions so you can find your own solution. Use a non-Google search engine (e.g. Bing) and search for "craigslist search engine". Several options will appear. Give them each a try by searching for items that you know will exist on CL. A couple of the search engines are 100% worthless. I got slightly different results with the 4 or 5 good ones that I found. I ended up sticking with two of them. I was able to use them to score a nice Yamaha RY-30 a couple of days ago for a very low price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KingVidiot Posted September 1, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2011 Thanks for that. You're right about some other bad options, yikes.I'll keep looking. I'm afraid nothing will be as cool as Jaxed with all stuff posted on one page. Goddamn lawyers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
