They are designed to increase the power of electronic signals. Amplifiers essentially take the input signal and increase either the output voltage, current or power.

Yep, I agree. It's utter crap. The old one wasn't great but workable - I could at least select multiple values in the search filters easily which is really all I cared about. I hadn't needed any components for a few weeks but when I went on the RS website to buy some today it wound me up so much that I just went to Mouser and found the components using their better search tools. I've preferred RS for years for various reasons but screw 'em, I ended up buying from Mouser as well.

It'd be nice if someone also vetted the filter options on these websites so you don't have, for example:
1 kΩ
1 k Ω
1k
1k Ω
1kΩ
1000 Ω
1000Ω
etc

I appreciate that that's a massive task... Perhaps not, you've only got to edit the duplicates... Meh.

I think the only way that the RS website can now be made worse is if they go the full distance and remove the useful filters we're left with and only leave us with sort by price and "popularity". Wouldn't surprise me.

The RS website has always been various forms of terrible, always lagging years behind the competition.
It has slowly improved over the years in areas like parametric search, but literaly over a decade later than Farnell it still doesn't show stock in search results listing.

Can't say I've noticed much recently as it's usually the last place I look .

It's a shame no one who posts here works for RS Components. They should get one of their sales people to sign up to forums like this, not to spam, but to keep up with what people think.

wouldn't do any good. Over the years I must have spoken to over a dozen RS people to explain exactly what the issues are but nothing ever gets fixed

amyk:
That means either their main source of revenue comes from elsewhere, or their web designers are too engrossed with how their redesign is so much better to care.

If it's the second case, taking your business elsewhere may give them a hint.
