I think it is unbelievable there is no search option in Parts. After finding the build project you want to start, currently you have to painstakingly go through each category and try finding that part. With many parts to purchase, this can be as challenging as building a project. This encourages the potential customer to just buy on eBay, at which I am doing, however my intentions is to support this community in every way.
NP BobCat22. We understand where you are coming from. We selected a shiny new theme for the Part Store and the search ended up way in the upper left hand corner. We are working on customizing some of the features and hope to have the search moved to a better location soon. Thanks for the feedback and your support!
