1. All entries can be in either upper or lower case. The search is case insensitive.
2. Enter the Part Number from the manufacturer for the quickest match. The search engine will first try to find the part number as entered, then it will remove any special characters (like -, ., *, etc.) and try to find matches without the special characters.
3. If more than one manufacturer matches the Manufacturer Name that you entered, you will be presented with a page of matching Manufacturers. Click on the correct Manufacturer Name for the item you are looking for, and the search engine will use this information in its search.
4. The Noun Description is a single word or words which specify the main noun which describes the part. Examples: "VALVE", "AXLE", "POWER SUPPLY", "WASHER", etc. The majority of these are single word nouns used to exactly specify the item.
5. The Description field allows the user to enter several words which describe the item. Example: "INSULATED REGULATOR TURBINE". Each word will be used by itself to determine which items contain all or a portion of the words entered. The items which match all of the entered words appear higher in the list of matches than those which only match a few.
6. The keywords "AND" and "OR" can also be used to perform logical expressions for finding items. Example: "VALVE 1/2 OR 3/4", "GENERATOR AND TURBINE". "AND" instructs the search engine to find items with both words in the description. "OR" instructs the search engine to find items with either or both of the words in the item description. A blank between words is used like "AND".
7. Lastly, enclosing a phrase in quotation marks will perform an exact match of the phrase ensuring that the words are together in the same order as they are entered. "FOR MODEL NO. 77S HEATER UNIT" will find any item with the words in the order they were entered.
