WTF: Craigslist
Why is it that when I search for an STi (ie: type "sti" in the search field) I get crap like this:
http://www.craigslist.org/sby/car/138217245.html
And this!
http://www.craigslist.org/eby/car/138823199.html
And......
http://www.craigslist.org/nby/car/138496145.html
This really sucks. How stupid can people get??? If I am searching for something like a STi or WRX, what in the hell would I want with a POS like anything above? Does anyone get this?

(2) Because many idiots are on craigs list
(3) Because some idiot puts keyword at the bottom of his ad with:

i dont want to get all *technical* about it, but i think this is how it works. see, search engines look for "text" (ie. words and letters). this is the same "text" that you typed into the "search box".
i apologize if this was way over your head. i know how this computer mumbo jumbo can be very confusing.

Yes but isn't that also called "SPAM" or "Bogus META tags"?
I would hate it if one day I search under keyward "WRX" and buncha **** pops up. Wait... that already happens now... nevermind.

My "why" was like... Why would someone selling a POS put keywords for cars and stuff waaaay nicer and not really comparable, not actually "how does the iddernet work."

I remembered typing in "white WRX" or "white STi" a couple days ago on CL and for some reason, I found an ad of throwback jerseys and sports apparel. WTF
