The search function helps you to search for specific symbols in the Catalogue Browser. It is an extensive search function which lets you search for part numbers, description of symbols, symbol names, company names and much more. The result of a search is shown below the Search Result section, as shown below.

Search selection
The Search selection checkboxes, below the Search Result, gives you the ability to choose which type of information you want to search for a certain symbol. This is useful if you, for example, want to do a more detailed search but don’t have the entire part number. By keeping only the Part Number option checked, you can make sure that the search result excludes all other information.
