Overview.
The Quick Search is used to locate InStock Fastener items that share
a particular product feature (dimension). Enter one or more features
in the horizontal Quick Search field, then click the blue Search
button to the right of the field. A page or multiple pages of InStock
Fastener items which share the features you entered will appear
as a search result.
The
more product features you enter in the Quick Search field, the more
specific (and probably shorter) your search results will be. The
opposite is true as well. For example, at this writing, a search
for "Machine Screw" brings up 1678 items, but a search
for "Machine Screw ¼-20" brings up 324 items. Please
put a space between each product feature.
To
help you conduct the Quick Search, please feel free to use the Detailed
Search dropdown menus on the website search page to see which feature
and dimension formats are recognized by the InStock Fasteners system.
If you enter a term other than those recognized by the system, it
will not contribute to the search result you require.
When
to Best Use Quick Search. Quick Search is best utilized when
you need to shop a number of different product types with a similar
feature or features, such as all screws, bolts & nuts with a
¼-20 size. When you know most or all of the features that
an item has, you may want to search using the Detailed Search dropdown
menus instead.
