Seems like everyone is redesigning their websites these days!

Yeah, I was surprised by that earlier this week.

Next up is to see if they have improve their search capabilities to include more default parameters.

Right, the search function left a lot to be desired. Unless, of course, you knew the mouser part number ahead of time...::)

I actually find the search to be very good, much better than most.

The new design is pleasing to the eye.

Me too. Once you know what the parameters actually mean (read the datasheets!), the search on Mouser's site is incredible. I've found so many parts that way that were exactly what I wanted.

Guess I better dive a little deeper into it. I'm spoiled from using mammoth and smallbear, all the parts are geared toward our crowd, and there aren't thousands and thousands to sift thru.

Mouser is my preferred site, but I actually think Digikey's search function is better.

Sometimes with Mouser's old site, they had fewer sort options on the first pass. Often, those options would show up as you dug deeper.  Things like lead spacing and temperature rating of caps.

Yeah, I saw that yesterday. Looks good!
