Rolf,

I would highly appreciate a search feature for part numbers at digital-bricks.de. Currently it is kind of tedious looking for some RAWs.

Thanks, w.

I know only the way using the url and amending it with the part number...
http://www.digital-bricks.de/de/file.php?part=18455

which browser are you using? you can make a little search engine in Chrome:


-> Settings
-> Manage Search Engines
-> Click ADD
  - search engine "any name" e.g. "LDD_RawDAT"
  - Keyword e.g. "LDD" this needs to be added in the addressbar to start search e.g. ldd 12345
  - URL with%s in place ... "http://www.digital-bricks.de/de/file.php?part=%s"
-> Click ADD

after entering now "ldd" + [Space] in the addressbar, it changes to the name of the search engine and you can enter "15086"

The file is either downloaded or nothing happens...

That is now the most convenient method I would say

No Chrome here. I'm a Firefox.

I have something for you:

go to: http://mycroftproject.com/search-engines...e=20171108

You probably get three results, hover over them and use the one with the ID "84111"

Click on it, it will install an additional search engine to be selected on the top right search box.

Now enter a number e.g. 10190 in the box and in the pull-down select the LDD-Brick.
- if digital-bricks has it it will open LDView
- if not, the page will be blank
Recently I was looking for the hotdog bread piece.
http://www.digital-bricks.de/en/index.ph...part=25386

Found it like this:

Using Google as a search engine and search term:

"www.digital-bricks.de bread"

First result lead to page:

http://www.digital-bricks.de/en/lddprimitives2248.php

Simple text search on that page for "bread" led me to it.

This is how I do this anyway. Hope it helps.

Well, you could also query a specific site using google. If you'd enter the following query:

Code:
25386 site:digital-bricks.de

You get 2 google results: the English and German pages containing part 25386
