TLDR, search with wildcard "*" after part number to get all versions
of part in the result.
Just wanted to share a tip I have been using when searching. When trying to
find a part, especially a decorated part, I have been using a wildcard after
the part number which increases the search result. An example is a support piece
I was recently searching for: 4476. This support piece only exists in the catalog
as 4476a or 4476b, so search for just 4476 returns no part results. Instead,
searching for 4476* returns both parts. This may be common knowledge for some,
but hopefully this helps others.

A “-“ also help eliminate any results with a certain word, so if you wanted to
exclude all stickered/printed parts you could do “-pattern”

Also useful is the "-" followed by a keyword to exclude any matches with
that keyword from your search, like "3001p* -sticker" to returned the
bricks with pattern but without sticker.
