The one that really hurts my feelings is when the search function on a manufacturer’s website doesn’t recognize their own part numbers. Then I get angry and go to google, which gives me unrelated ad results instead. Ah, familiarity.
- kayodelycaon 3y agoHaving previously worked for a company with this problem, sometimes you need to start pulling other people’s teeth to get them to stop putting data in random fields. We just told our customers to google the part number. I don’t know how these places stay in business.
