  ...there are two different versions of instructions, showing two different sticker
configurations. It is likely that both minifigures in the catalog are correct.

Should we add a note to set 641-1 to explain that it can come with different
instruction and sticker sheet?

How can I modify inventory for minifig?

You can see the problem there:

Of course changes should be made on DB directly with write logs into "change-log
table" as well (to have an history of what is made)

But for that, you need SQL guy (not your nephew) and "real" database.
Please don't play with Excel

No fears I am not a programmer and neither is he - we leave it to those that
have a passion for it.

How can I say?

My search for parts with integers and words numbers in description (of course
dimension like "1 x 2 x 2" is not included on integer number search)

In Catalog, StormChaser writes:
  In the case of this problem, you can't even find the problem because you
can't search for it. So it would involve examining every single catalog
entry. All 100K+ of them.

What do you want to find?

Something like this?
"* three *" = 153 results
"* 3 *" = 6675 results
"* three *" AND "* 3 *" = 16 results

As example, last search find:
"Technic, Panel Car Spoiler 3 x 8 with Three Holes and Black and Yellow Danger
Stripes and Mud Pattern (Stickers) - Set 7968"

"Primo Brick 1 x 1 with Three Flowers and Number 3 on Opposite Side Pattern"

Of course,I made query to find only for "three" and "3" on same description,
but with a regexp it should be simple to spot every "word digit" with "digit"
on same description like "blah with two legs and 1 arm"

Some other incoherence (digit 3 should be between '' when you have pattern
after):
"*number 3 *pattern*" = 22 result
"*number '3' *pattern*" = 3 result

If you know what you want to find, it should be easy to make a search query,
to spot the majority of incoherence.
