You can use Internet Explorer.

CrazedList- http://crazedlist.org/ - you have to use Firefox (it does not work in InternetExplorer) but this is a powerful search- all from the first page (selecting the cities and search term, with/without pictures, etc.) . According to Crazedlist, "Crazedlist allows you to search multiple craigslist.org sites at once. However in order to do so you must disable referrers in your web browser.
