Hi targetmarketnow!
I found two programs - one for PC and one for Mac - that should be
able to do exactly what you describe. Hopefully, one of these will be
suitable for you!
The program for PC is called "Power Submitter", which can search and
automatically submit free ads to sites such as Kingdom Classifieds, 1
America Mall , 5 Star , Best Mall , Classifieds For Free, AdTrack
Classifieds, Citynews (over 1100 sites!), NightFall , Classifieds
Online , Yahoo! Free Classifieds, Leading Edge (over 40000 mirror
sites) , Classifieds 2000 (over 160 plus sites!), And Many More! And,
as new sites come online, they get ADDED FREE to the software
automatically for you to immediately submit your ads to immediately...
you do not have to do a thing - the software will do it all for you.
"Power Submitter will save you weeks and weeks of wasted effort by
automatically submitting your classified ads to over 2,000+ free
classified ad sites [and more types of sites too]? all with the click
of a few buttons.
It's just that simple! All you need to do is:
1. Type in your ad?
2. Pick the categories and sections of the classified ad sites that
you would like your ad to appear in?
3. Press Start?
4. And then WALK AWAY!
... At a rate of approximately 30 ads per minute, Power Submitter will
begin automatically submitting your ads? leaving you free to look
after other aspects of your business."

POWERSUBMITTER also come with the AUTO-BROWSER, a stand-alone program
which has automated search tools! This is really what you want.
"NEW! AUTOMATE ALL YOUR INTERNET ACTIVITIES:
In addition to the Power Submitter, you get a complete stand alone
program called AUTO-BROWSER that automates all Internet activities
saving you more time and effort...both in submissions and normal "day
to day" activities... this program adds 1000s of more sites IN
ADDITION to the sites already in the Power Submitter that you can
submit to in an automated fashion. New sites are added daily too...
plus you have automated search tools to find even more resources and
sites..."
http://www.becanada.com/indexgoto-power.htm?7SEARCH_Free_classifeds
(same page, lower down)
Power Submitter works on all Microsoft Windows operating systems including:
Windows 95, Windows 98, WindowsME, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows
XP, Windows XP Pro
And, you can try it free for 120 days:
"Try the Power Submitter risk free for 120 days. If you are not 100%
satisfied for any reason we will cheerfully refund your money, no
questions asked and the 5 free bonuses above are yours to keep.
The Power Submitter Software Package is yours for only a one time
payment of only $97 and there are no monthly fees and no
update/upgrade fees of any kind forever."
(same page)
You can also try an online demo version:
"Try our online DEMO of the power submitter now - it will take you
about 5 minutes- it will let you submit to REAL free classifieds,
automatically! The online demo will work in all major browsers. This
demo does not require downloading, take a minute and try it now..."
(same page - bottom)
The Macintosh one I suggested earlier, is "iSeek":
"iSeek is a handy little program for Mac OS X that allows you to
instantly search for anything you seek, no matter what program you are
running. iSeek puts a familiar search field in your menu bar, needing
just a click or keystroke to start your search! [..]
iSeek's slick and seamless interface hides a significant amount of
power and convenience. iSeek is no mere front-end to Google, it will
ship with pre-configured search shortcuts for dozens of useful
Internet resources. Look up a word definition in the dictionary, or a
synonym in the thesaurus, or even famous quotes that reference the
word. Search for information on Google, in popular news sites such as
the BBC News, MacNN.com, or even search for software on MacUpdate.com
or VersionTracker.com
Anything that is searchable on the Internet can be added to iSeek as a
search shortcut that's available in a snap, and your recent searches
are saved, too, for even quicker access. The real power of iSeek is
that it is also highly configurable: you can add whatever search sites
you find useful, and easily share them with your friends."

Hope one of these works for you!

Hello:
Thanks for trying to help, however, I'm not trying to list an ad with
classifieds, I'm trying to find software that will go out and hunt
through all the classified ads, already in place (local city/county
newspapers and Internet classifieds, etc...), for certain keywords.
For example: If I am looking for a Crestliner boat, I want to be
able to type in the keyword (just like we do with Google), and have
the software search through every local city/county newspaper and
Internet site, that has classified ads, for "Crestiner boat" and list
them for me.
Thanks
DT

Excuse me for that, DT ! :)
This then should be what you want:
e-Classifieds Basic Edition (Price: $79.00)
"At just $9.95 per month (or $79 for the distributed version with the
cash discount), the e-Classifieds Basic Edition outperforms all other
low-cost classified ads programs on the market, including those
costing twice as much.[..]
The Basic Edition contains all of the great features of our $49 Lite
Edition, but it also adds our exclusive Keyword Notify feature (which
allows your users to set up their own keyword search agents)..."
http://www.e-classifieds.net/products/basic.html
Professional Edition
$383.90 (regular price)
Platforms: Unix, Windows NT/2000
"The Professional Edition is our lowest priced version that contains
multiple databases, as well as sophisticated database search features.
For example, a user could search for apartments with between one and
three bedrooms, that have at least 1.5 bathrooms, that are located in
a certain city, that have monthly rents within a specific price range,
and that have specific amenities such as a fireplace, microwave, etc.
Just like the Standard Edition, the Professional Edition can run on
both Unix and Windows NT/2000..."

Hello again:
Were you able to go through the information on this site carefully
before responding? I appreciate your help, however, this site sells
software that allows me to host my own classified site. It is not a
"Classified ad Search Engine". Let's go ahead and close this Google
Answer project and I'll see if I can get someone overseas to program a
software tool for me.
Thanks
DT

I'm sorry what I found wasn't suitable.
In a final attempt to please, I came across alfa modular software solutions...
"alfa applications, allowing publishers to publish small ads for cars
and property on the Internet in parallel to printed editions, have
been available since 1999. The software module is alfa AO+, a
state-of-the-art e-business module for the automated and structured
make-up of classified and standard ads. It can be used to make
targeted searches for ads on the Internet based on customer-defined
selection criteria and masks, and to send ads via the Internet."
http://www.alfa.de/englisch/archiv/showartikel.cfm?artikelid=128
(3rd paragraph)
"alfa AdCounter creates an universal online ad system. By adding this
new solution to the alfa solution portfolio it is now also possible to
capture ads online.
To do this, the program automatically accesses the ad database, which,
in addition to the ad itself, also includes structured data about the
customer, the order, the heading, the prices and other services.
Internet users can submit ads directly via the system. Potential
advertisers, whether regular trade customers or private advertisers,
select the template they require in the browser and can tailor the ad
to their requirements in HTML format. Publication content, date and
other parameters can be specified just as when ads are captured
locally.
The HTML templates for a structured and guided ad capture are created
automatically following close collaboration between the publisher and
online service and can be modified and monitored by the publisher. The
software solution alfa AdCounter will be also available for hire to
interested newspaper publishers as an ASP service (Application Service
Providing).
An additional search function for targeted searches is now available
to Internet users of existing solutions with alfa AO+ for the
structured online publishing of free text ads. A notification service
that sends selected information via customers? mobile phones or emails
is another new feature designed to attract customers."
http://www.alfa.de/englisch/archiv/showartikel.cfm?artikelid=152
Or,
go to main site www.alfa.de , click for English version
Click on "Online solutions" (left hand nav bar), click on "Adtaking
via Internet" and then "alfa adcounter".
.................................................
I don't know if this will be suitable either - if it's not, then I
apologize in advance! If it is, then I would be very happy to hear
your comments.
Thank you for using GA! :)
Good luck, and best wishes for the New Year!
