How do you use digikey? I'm serious, where do you begin with this website. Product Index? What do people do?
Preliminary answers seem to be: "Never search, only click on links"; "Give up clicking on links and use Search"; and "use Octopart"

@starsandrobots Maybe googling "site:http://digikey.com 'shielded cable'" would work as well there as it does on other stores. -
@GiantEye do you actually use this technique yourself? -
@starsandrobots for sites with shitty search like filesharing, whitepaper, lyric, and university archives. Never done it for digikey.

@starsandrobots I search for a very generic query ("resistor"), then filter ("0603", &c) until there's a reasonably small number of results. -
@starsandrobots ALWAYS archive and index your invoices to reorder by the internal Digikey part numbers. Saves a ton of time. - 1 more reply
