Many of our wholesalers' search facilities now can find you the part from a few keywords, not even necessarily the right ones.

A few years ago, you needed the part code, and even last year you had to get spacing, cases and symbols right:
For example:
Rapidfire
rapidfire
Rapid-fire
Rapid fire
Only one would bring up the products.
Tbh we would often use sjs website to get the part codes, because their system was massively more considered.

My fave:
Bracket Covers.
You're not going to guess that are you, even if you have the part in your hand
