| When I type Red Brick 1x4 in the main search box on the top of the page,
for Catalog Items, I would expect to at least see
in the list as it does appear in red and not a list with
et cetera which does not occur in red but only has 'Red' in it's
name.
However, when searching for "Items for Sale" in the same search box, the result
is as expected. Therefore it should be rather easy to implement: strip the color
name from the search entry to link to the intended place.
Catalog Search for Red Brick 1x4 gives
"Catalog: Search Results for red brick 1x4"
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?q=red%20brick%201x4
whereas
Items for Sale for the same search string gives:
"Items For Sale: in Red Color: Results for brick 1x4"
http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?q=red%20brick%201x4
The intended information is available:
Catalog: Parts: Search Results for brick 1x4 Appearing In Sets in Red
Color
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?v=2&pg=1&q=brick+1x4&catLike=W&colorPart=5&sortBy=N&sortAsc=A&catType=P
but only through the much longer route of Catalog/Colors/Red/search "brick 1x4".
I'd like to see the shortcut implemented.

That is very interesting that in the Items for Sale search, it converts the word
"red" into the color ID number and shows you red bricks - but it doesn't
always.
For example, a search for red brick or brick red in the Items
for Sale search will show you red bricks. Likewise, a search for red brick
stripes shows you red bricks with stripes.
However if you move the word "red" next to "stripes" you get different results
- a search for brick red stripes now shows you bricks of all colors
that have red stripes in the pattern.
