I need a multidimensional weighted search function for capacitors: For example, GRM21BR71A106KE51L is obsolete. Let me define a cost function as "tolerance < price < dielectric < voltage < value < footprint". Now, find me the nearest neighbor in that point cloud that's in stock.

I want a nearest neighbor search with weighting functions: search different tolerances first, then higher voltage rating, then +/-10% of value, then change the dielectric material, then +/-20% of value, then let's talk about soldering 0402 on 0603 pads.

My approach to performing this search is to use the above "find similar parts" tool, then with "sort by quantity available" selected, successively delete parameters until there were any parts in stock. You don't get to assign weights, but it seems like pretty good functionality?
