Firefox 3 Search Engine For Craigslist

I created a search engine for Firefox 3 to search Craigslist using a guide I found at Varun Kashyap's TechCrazy Blog. My friend reminded me about smart keywords after I created this, which is probably faster than using the search engine. In any case I figured I would post it so that if you want to use it you can.

Since Craiglist has a different sub-domain for every location you will need to edit this XML file for the location you want to search. For example, if you live in Detroit and want to search there you would replace "sfbay" in the Craigslist URL to "detroit".
