Learn about product search features and functionality

The main search box at the top of the page allows you to search for products using an element14 order code, a manufacturer's part number, a manufacturer’s name or keywords.

The search may include partial or complete terms as well as product attributes like voltage, ohms, or other values.

Category Results

If your search query contains matches in more than one product category, a list of product categories will be displayed.

General Search Filters Glossary

  • In Stock:
    Checking this box will display only the products we have in stock, available to be despatched same or next day.

To see the results when you select general filters, you need to click the apply button. It is not necessary to enter any text in the search within field if all you want to filter is one or more of the check boxes.

Parametric Filters

If your search ends up within one category, you will see parametric filters. The actual search product results will be displayed below the filters on the page. You may narrow your results by selecting parametric filters either by checking the box for one or more specific attributes or by using the range selector to check multiple boxes more easily. To see the product results, you will need to click the “Show Results” button.

Selecting the Auto Apply filters will automatically hide filter options that would result in no match. However, the products displayed below the filter options will not update until you click the “Show Results” button.

NOTE: There may be more parametric options than visibly displayed at first. Simply scroll to the right to see additional parametric attributes.
