Hi I'm wondering where you're holding as far as

1) adding an option to search for a part while excluding all entries with stickers,
and possibly another excluding Duplo.

2) When searching a part number, include in the results all parts that start
with those numbers, i.e. all variations of that mold. For example, 11439 only
brings up the solid color version of this part, instead of all the mixed-color
variations.

I'd love to help if I can.

try typing -pattern at the end or -sticker or maybe -duplo Hopefully that should
help

  2) When searching a part number, include in the results all parts that start
with those numbers, i.e. all variations of that mold. For example, 11439 only
brings up the solid color version of this part, instead of all the mixed-color
variations.

if you add a wildcard such as a * at the end of the number it will search all
of the items that have those numbers you entered regardless of any additional
numbers or letters after

  I'd love to help if I can.

Ok thanks! Great tricks!

Though I'd guess that most people don't ask like I did, and just find
it too cumbersome to use...

Lol even locating your replies here is an ordeal for me. No notifications, no
clarity of format...

The forum works more as a mailing list / a newsgroup than modern forums.

Use the links on top
“Redisplay Messages: Compact | Brief | All | Full Show Messages: All | Without
Replies”
to find the format you prefer and then set the default in your Settings: https://www.bricklink.com/messageFilter.asp?viewFrom=P

Use the minus sign: “-stickers”.


  2) When searching a part number, include in the results all parts that start
with those numbers, i.e. all variations of that mold. For example, 11439 only
brings up the solid color version of this part, instead of all the mixed-color
variations.

Use the asterisk: “3001*” will give you all the items with an ID starting with
“3001”.

It works for words in description too.  It’s great for plurals: “clip*” gives
both “clip” & “clips”… doesn’t work for “tooth” / ”teeth” though


  I'd love to help if I can.
