    Years ago I hacked together the "Multi-Machine Parts Search", at http://moll.no/pinball/parts/. Knowing how that sausage was made, it is somewhat incredible that a) it's still alive, and b) people still find it useful. Considering that last fact, I don't want to mess with it too much, as its simplicity is one of its (few) strengths.

    But, one thing I have long wanted to do is to somehow provide some search functionality without losing the structural information contained in the original parts list. So, I did some quick hackery today. If you go to the page and click the small tree icon next to a machine's name, you'll get to a searchable tree-view of the parts structure. Not sure how useful it actually is, but it's something. I have a few ideas for improvements already, but I'll still try to keep it simple.

    Enjoy!

    The parts search page is now back up and running, after a week of being broken. Thanks to pinballlife for letting me know it was dead

    ...and thanks to TheNoTrashCougar for letting me know that searching for part numbers with a hyphen in them didn't work... How did I not notice this before?! Oh well, that bug has now been fixed.
