PartsBox features a sophisticated search engine designed specifically for electronic components. It employs advanced fuzzy-matching algorithms to deliver accurate results, even with minor misspellings or partial part numbers. This powerful search functionality runs entirely in the browser, providing lightning-fast, instant results without the need to press ENTER after typing your query.
Fuzzy-matching is particularly well-suited for searching electronic parts. For example, searching for '61a20dwp' will return the TPA6120A2DWP, while typing 'mcp78381' will show the MCP73832T-2ACI/OT that you have in stock. This intelligent search capability saves time and ensures you find the right components quickly and easily.
The PartsBox search engine comprehensively indexes various fields associated with electronic components, including:
If a local part number is assigned, both the Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) and your company's internal part number are indexed. This allows you to search using either identifier to locate the desired component.
In addition to fuzzy-matching, the search engine supports exact filtering by tags. To use this feature, simply prefix the tag with a '#' character. For example, searching for '#smd' will narrow down the results to only those parts tagged with 'smd'.
You can combine multiple tags with fuzzy search terms for even more precise results. For instance, searching for '4k7 #0402 #resistor' will first retrieve parts tagged with both 'resistor' and '0402', and then perform a fuzzy search for '4k7' within those results.
PartsBox's powerful search engine streamlines your electronic parts inventory management. It enables you to quickly locate components, check stock levels, and make informed decisions about purchasing and production. With instant, accurate search results, you can spend less time hunting for parts and more time focusing on your core engineering tasks.
