NOTICE Due to changes in website infrastructure, this script no longer works on Digi-Key’s website. This page is now considered historical and there is not a planned future for the userscript. There is an exploratory userscript called Keymaster that works with the new infrastructure, but it is not entirely stable.

Introduction
The advancedsearch script is intended to enhance user experience while browsing www.digikey.com and associated international websites.
Highlights include:
- Voltage Range Parsing
- Remember In Stock Checkbox Preference
- One-Click Part Number Copy
- Column Math
- Parametric Scatter Charts
- Picture Oriented Browsing Additions
- Break-Even Price Point Calculations for Price Breaks
- Keyword Highlighting
- Sticky Search Header

This script is a hobby and as such may have some bugs or flaws, but it is intended to be a testbed for trying things that could be helpful for people searching for parts. Many functions are modular and can individually be disabled or enabled based on user preferences. Inspiration for this userscript came from the now retired Digi-Key Sort By Price that added the then lacking title function to Digi-Key’s website. Updates have been ongoing throughout 2019.
Requirements
This script is updated and tested on the most current official releases of Firefox/Chrome and Tampermonkey. Nearly any other browser with Tampermonkey support can run this script as well including Edge, Vivaldi, Opera, etc…
This script is not designed with small screens in mind. A 900p or larger screen is recommended for the best experience.
Installation
For Firefox, Chrome, Edge or Opera using Tampermonkey (Greasemonkey is no longer supported due to changes in FF57+ and GM4+)
If you’d like to see the source code, head on over to the GitHub repo 
Updates
Tampermonkey automatically checks for script updates and download them as necessary.
