They've updated their website again and it's much better. I haven't actually used it in anger yet, but the ability to sort by fields such as resistance, power rating etc.  and list up to 100 results per page are big improvements.

But still no way to filter out-of-stock items or show stock level with search results, which especially nowadays makes it far less useful than Farnell/Digikey/Mouser

There's an option to select 1 to 3 days lead time though, which is nearly as good.

But it doesn't appear on all listings.

e.g. It appears for MLCCs (https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/passive-components/capacitors/mlccs-multilayer-ceramic-capacitors/?applied-dimensions=4294886074) but not for Wire-Wound Surface Mount Inductors (https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/passive-components/inductors/wire-wound-surface-mount-inductors/)

what it actually works now? last time I tried that it rendered all results nil as they had not put in any data for that field. This is the problem with the reorganisation that has put more than one type of product into one category. Firstly the person that did it is an asshole! secondly if you are going to add a filter you have to add fields bfor that filter to every product you just dumped in there and fill it out, correctly!

From what you say we are back to the old site with an unneeded face lift. Don't these jerks look at their competition? Haven't they seen how visually unappealing the Digi key site is, but guess what, in a time of crisis it's my first port of call is digi key for I care not how the site is aesthetically, I care that it works! My job is to find parts and bake them into designs and tell manufacturers where to buy them, if RS want to cut themselves out so be it!
