Improve the Search Engine: links to many pulled ads and it misses other active ads
Currently a search will show hits for many listings that, when clicked on, have been pulled or are no longer valid. Opposingly, I've had a few searches completely miss active listings that I've found by searching Craigslist directly.

Hi Pete,
I'm assuming these are craigslist links, yes? If so, this is because our craigslist results are powered by Google and Yahoo, and our results are only as recent as their most recent index (You can learn more about that here: http://www.searchtempest.com/help/general#missing).
We are aware that this is a bit of a frustration for everyone, and are always trying to improve the search the best we can. In the meantime, you can get a more accurate search of craigslist using SearchTempest's "Direct Results" mode. It's a little more difficult to navigate, but it will provide you with all the results on craigslist.
If the results you're referring to aren't craigslist links, please send me the links and I'll take a look at what we can do to fix them :)
Thanks!
