Search got a brain transplant — and it remembers how to think like you do.
We rebuilt global search from the ground up. You can now search two ways: ask questions in natural language and let AI interpret what you mean (we've had this over a year now), or use precise key:value syntax when you know exactly what you're hunting for. Both live in the same bar. Hit ⌘ + K (or Ctrl+K) and start typing.
The AI mode understands context. "Show me resistors we haven't touched in six months" works. So does "parts made by John that cost more than $5." It parses your intent, translates it into filters, and shows you what it understood before running the search. No black box guessing.
But sometimes you don't want interpretation — you want exactness. That's where key:value syntax comes back. Type manufacturer:Molex price:>5 and you get precisely that. No ambiguity, no AI second-guessing your query. We've documented the full syntax here — it's more powerful than before!
The search bar now suggests results as you type, and clicking a suggestion takes you straight to that component's detail page.
