I just tried this out. Did a search for "golf clubs" in my location. Craiggers gives me 6 results. Craigslist gave me 273.

Also, I still think the craigslist ui is actually better (I've never had a problem with it). To me, categories work better as a list to drill into, not as something to discover via search box.

Craigslist is a highly useful service, and as such, spam is inevitable (has this been codified anywhere?). I hope that they get the spam under control. But in a lot of categories, craigslist is still great.

I work on the project. It would help me out greatly if you could email the details of your search to me at dfoley@3taps.com. We really should have all of the data.

Were you typing your location into the search box? That might explain the difference. We don't currently support typing your location into the text box, but maybe we should.

Thanks!
