Problem is that the search will only give you the items that a seller has
picked from the internal parts/sets catalog.  If a seller adds their own
item that is not listed, the item doesn't get tagged with the part ID / Set
number and will not show up in the search.

That's OK with me.  :)

You can _sort of_ search by the part ID already.  Let's say you're looking
for red brick 1x1 part #3005:

Part of the problem with that method is that I don't always know what
category a part is in.  It's similar to the problem that I run into with
the regular search engine -- I don't always know what a part's name is.
For example, I was recently looking for a black #4523 (minifig container
d-basket).  To find it on Brickbay now, I have to go to the LUGNET parts
reference to find out the name, then use that name to search on Brickbay.
I would never have thought to use that name as part of my search term
without looking it up first...

I guess I just want to eliminate the middle man in these types of searches.
