Is there a solution?

Hi… just tried this after seeing in lifehacker. great idea, several initial problems & ideas:

1. nice to be zero-config and all but a login would be most welcome to manage searches.

2. first time i entered a search and a city, i got something COMPLETELY different, different search item and different city.

3. second time i entered a search which contained a space (MacBook Air) — i got unrelated results. searches should be treated as phrases.

IE: I have been waiting for a free bed frame to pop up (in the free category) I really have no desire to pay for one, so I only look in that category. Also--for items for sale, it's really nice to filter in CL by max price. It would be nice if Heycraig had that feature. I would like to know how often Heycraig checks for updates? I would assume it's no more than once per minute. It would be great to be able to pick your category too.

In the "spam" that is sent by heycraig, where it says: "You can also go to your custom search page where you can delete the search and stop getting emails." How could we reword that to be more clear? We put that sentence in thinking it was pretty cut and dry but it is always a challenge to word things properly. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This is actually something I've been wanting and lamenting it's absence on CL. A constructive comment: It'd be nice if it remembered my city A complaint - I'm getting an awful lot of 500 server errors when trying it out. I love Brian's suggestion on images too! Thanks, I look forward to using this not so pointless ap :) Awesome idea! This is actually something I’ve been wanting and lamenting it’s absence on CL.
