Searching Craiglist with lots of "OR" statements, but Adding "Not" statement kills it

Here's what I'm searching for:

"Lifetime | Workmate | Leer | Utility | Reading | Camper | "cab over" | SecureShell |Tailgater"

I get a lot of good results.

Unforunately, I also get a lot of results for parts and whole cars, "sport utility" or "lifetime warranty".

When I add "-parts -warranty" to my search, I get no results.

Everything has parts....

Parenthesis?

Try:

(Lifetime | Workmate | Leer | Utility | Reading | Camper | "cab over" | SecureShell |Tailgater) -parts -warranty

That doesn't work. It returns no results.

Odd. Worked for me on New Orleans Craigslist. I dunno.

Try this

Interesting. It works for Lancaster, but not for Flagstaff. Which reminded me to change my location.
