   You can use the search box to help you find pieces, if you type
either the name or number it will auto-complete and select the piece for
you, or just type the search string and press enter to see the results
in the Search Results category at the bottom of the list.

Cool options. Fine :-)

The new tree feature should be better to find parts but it needs more space on
the screen. This could be minimized if the first word in the parts name would be
deleted.
Example:
All part names in the "Bricks" category begin with "Brick". This is unnecessary
because there are only "Bricks" in this category. Same for most of the other
categories. Categories which contain more types of parts like "Hinge & Bracket"
could be devided with subcategories. So in all categories (maybe except the
"Misc" category) the first word of the parts names could be deleted.
This would save space in the pieces toolbar.

   I do this for patterned pieces already, but I think it would be too
confusing to do it for other pieces.

Ok, I can understand this.

Best regards
Ronald
