Farrier is not listed, but it's modern-day counterpart, blacksmith is. Wagoner, wheelwright, chairman, President, and maintenance worker are not listed either. You can, however, get results for specific trades. Despite it's drawbacks in data availability, it is a fast and very neat presentation. whitcwa, I know you weren’t talking to me, but I did think of checking farrier when I first visited the site.
