search_parts
Find electronic components by part number or keyword across multiple hardware providers, with merged results showing pricing, stock availability, and datasheet status.
Instructions
Search for electronic components by part number, description, or keyword. Start here — this is the best entry point for finding components. Queries all configured providers in parallel. Results are merged by MPN with indicative pricing and stock from each source. Each result includes datasheet_status ('ready', 'extracting', or 'not_extracted') so you know which parts have datasheets available for read_datasheet. Best with specific part numbers or keywords (e.g. 'STM32F103', 'buck converter 3A'). For spec-based discovery in natural language, use search_datasheets instead.
