I think there's still room for improvement in Partsref,
but I'm very happy with how this version turned out.

I spent some time with it, and while i think it's really neat, I miss the
old interface, is it still around??? What I like is the ability to see vast
swaths of parts all at once, only one category click in. The current one is
TOO compartmentalized (did I just say that?)

Multiple views might be a good way to go.


I liked the keyword feature. But it's really a bunch of already-run searches -
what's the use of that? Just use the search box.
I had to outsmart it, though, to get it to list all parts.
I used a q=* switch.

But I think that's the point, really.
If there were a complete listing, as well as a listing at each sub-level.,
rather than the current bottom-level-only listing, it would be much more usable
for me.

Also, the 20 images per page is OK, but I'd also like to get my search without
a page limit - which is far better for printing out.

I'm agreeing with the need for Multiple Views.

Finally - why the choice for the default light tan color? The 'tan' on the
color page doesn't look like tan at all, while the default looks much more like
'tan' (maybe it's just my display).

Just a few thoughts.
Thanks for a great upgrade, though.
