Hi, recently installed LDraw but I'm tearing my hair out a bit. Many common parts don't appear to show up in LDraw part search. What am I doing wrong?
![[Image: ldraw-search.png]](http://infekted.org/timo/ldraw-search.png)
I open new model, and on the left dialogue make sure I'm at the top of the tree, then I click the lego man icon to Search Inventory:
![[Image: ldraw-search2.png]](http://infekted.org/timo/ldraw-search2.png)
.... then I click the filter and enter a known common part, let's say a 4x4 black plate, part number 4243819, tick all the boxes, but after clicking Accept it doesn't find the part.
Some common parts are found (such as black 1x6 plate 303226, or grey 1x4 plate 4211395), but others not (grey 4x4 plate 4243797, red 1x4 plate 371021) etc.
It doesn't make sense.
My libraries are configured as below:

I have quit & reloaded the app to update any new folder libraries/archives.
Thanks for any help.
