TUTORIAL
TOOLBOX CROSS REFERENCE SEARCH
CROSS REFERENCE SEARCH
WILDCARD SEARCH CONTINUED
If you know the middle of the part
number, then enter % at the start,
followed by the digits you have,
then and add another % at the end,
example %XXXX%
If you know the end of the part
number, then enter % at the start,
followed by the digits you have,
example %XXXX
When using the Cross Reference search, you can enter up to 10 part
numbers in one search. Do not include any spaces, -, /, \, or any other
symbols. Part numbers entered here must be complete and correct for
a successful search. Press the Tab key on your keyboard to move to the
next field. Hit the Enter key, or click on the FIND button to perform
a search.
The wildcard (%) can also be placed
anywhere in the part number. For
example, if you are replacing a filter,
and part of the middle of the part
number has become unreadable,
replace that section with %. Example
XXX%XXX
AUTOMATCH SEARCH
The Automatch search is a helpful way
to make sure you have the correct
part number. This search is particularly
helpful when cross referencing hydraulic
cartridges. For example if you have
tried entering a part number into Cross
Reference search with unsuccessful results,
you can try entering the number into
Automatch. When you begin typing a part
number, the Automatch field will show a
list of part numbers in the database where the starting numbers match
the characters you have typed. Use your mouse to choose a number
from the list, then click the search icon to perform a search.
WILDCARD SEARCH
The Wildcard search is particularly useful for when you only have
some digits of a part number to search. The Wildcard search uses the %
symbol to substitute for a section of a part number. There are several
ways you can use the Wildcard search, each is explained below.
If you know the start of the part
number you can enter the first
few digits you have with the % at
the end, example XXXX%, then
click the search icon to perform
a search. Your search results
should display all parts in the
database that start with the digits
you entered and end with any
combination of digits. Another
option for this example is to use
the Automatch search.

MANUFACTURER FILTER
The Manufacturer filter is an option you can
use to narrow down your search results.
You can use this filter in conjunction
with the Cross Reference, Automatch or
Wild Card search options. After you have
entered your search terms into one of the
search options, begin entering a name and
the Manufacturer field will show a list of
manufacturers that match the characters
you have typed. Use your mouse to choose
a manufacturer’s name from the list, then
click the search icon to perform a search.
Please note, if you have chosen a manufacturer that does not match the
part number you are searching, no results will display.
