Enter a search term, for example, a catalog Part Number, “93416”, and all possible matches will be presented and made available. Note how as each digit is entered, matching results are narrowed down. openBoM search is fast. You can directly access the BOM containing the matching result.
Saved Searches
Searches can be saved at any stage by clicking the “Save” button. You will be prompted to name the search (optional). By default, the search term will be used as the search name.
