The catalog page URL for a part follows this format. Putting an alternate part
number gets page not found. Could it redirect to the main part number?
Also, if a part has variations, sometimes the main number leads to page not found
instead of undetermined type.
This is a problem for me when selling used parts and looking them up by the number
on the part.

Hello,

Sorry if I am missing something here, but when I search for 92903, both in Catalog
and All Items, the part 6005 does come up as the result.

Also, when seaching by part number, always add a * after the number. That will
return all the 'a' 'b' and 'c' variants and patterned
parts, etc.

Try the difference between 4085 and 4085* in a Catalog search, and you will see
what I mean.

Good luck,
Jen

I meant putting a part number directly into a URL, not running a search
