How can we improve FindChips and Findchips Pro?

Wildcards would be very helpful

When shopping for parts it is very helpful to be able to wildcard certain characters in a part number. For example in one of our internal browser-based search tools, we can use % to wildcard a range of characters or ? for a single char.

Examples:

CY62148EV30LL-%SXIT will return the following:
CY62148EV30LL-45ZSXIT
CY62148DV30LL-70ZSXIT
CY62148EV30LL-55SXIT

CY62148?V30LL will return the following:
CY62148EV30LL-45ZSXIT
CY62148DV30LL-70ZSXIT
CY62148EV30LL-55SXIT

Implementing even just one of these 2 wildcard features would be a major help for us. Thanks for your excellent service, I use it almost every day!

    Hi!

    When I search there are often variables in the middle of part numbers
    that are allowed to change.
    Can I enter wild cards like * to allow any character there?
    I know I can remove characters from the end but this often gives too
    many parts that are not interesting.

    Best regards
    Eric Raquette
