Does whoever is working on the website actually not realize that the default set of filters that is shown is never enough to select any part, ever? You literally have to click that EVERY TIME for EVERY PART and it has been that way now for quite a long time.

Yes, I dont think I have ever not expanded to see more filter selections...

The default should be expanded with the option to hide if if needed. And they also need uncheck that stupid marketplace tick box by default. Really who uses that.

Bud:
I do not think they will do it but anyways I would like to add my voice for default uncheck of the idiotic marketplace option.

james_s:
I challenge anyone to choose a part, any part, without clicking that idiotic un-hide button, with better accuracy than dumb luck. Unless you search for the exact part number you need or manage to nail every one of the search terms there is just no way. The choices it does show you don't even make any sense. For example I just tried searching for "NPN transistor", a fairly common thing I might search for when ordering for a project. It gives me by default Manufacture, Series, Packaging, Part Status and Transistor Type. Out of all of those, Transistor Type and if it's a production prototype then also Part Status are the only ones that are even remotely useful as a starting point. Manufacture? Who cares, I don't even see ANY of the electrical specs yet. Series? If I knew what series I wanted I'd have typed that in the search box. Packaging? Seriously?! I still have no idea what part I'm looking for and I'm going to want to filter based on the type of packaging it is shipped in?  |O This is just... I can picture Dave moaning and slapping his forehead the way he does when he's really exasperated by something. It shows just a complete lack of understanding of the way their intended customers select parts and selling electronic components to engineers is their entire core business. It is inexcusable.

Fixing that is also on the near-ish term plan.

It's still the same stupid, new "let's beta test all this, live on our users" interface here...   :palm:

I just checked a bunch of the parts I commonly buy.  Lots of them seem to have price increases since the last time I looked, which has been a while.
Anybody know why there's no volume discount for Xilinx?  If you order 10,000 parts, you still pay the single-piece price on them.
