CraigScrape

Howdy yall
So, maybe I should have posted this earlier, but I decided to program a craigslist 'scraper', if you will, last spring.
Craigscrape - the Craigslist multi-term, multi-city search @ TurntableArchives.com

Why?
To aid a certain style of craigslisting.

WTF does it do?
It runs multiple craigslist searches from one page. Choose a category, then type in MULTIPLE terms with commas (like this, and this, and this one), and then do the same for cities (must match craigslist convention).
It will then search all those terms, and group them by city, and display on one page.

Example?
I often search for the terms, 'synth', 'synthesizer', 'sampler', and 'drum machine', and i want to see what is available in many cities, Houston, Austin, College Station.
I can set the category to musical instruments, and then type all those terms, and all those cities ('collegestation' is what craigslist recognises), and get all the results one one page.
NO MORE MULTIPLE SEARCHES!!!! One click and I am DONE!

Try it out for yourself!
