Quick search for Part-DB
Workaround for Part-DB/Part-DB-server#305
The part-db_quicksearch_addon is a simple HTML file that allows you to search quickly in the Part-DB.
The programming was done with a lot of help from ChatGPT, although my programming skills and code quality are at a beginner level.
The addon is not officially supported by Part-DB. It retrieves the results of the <Part-DB-Server>/en/typeahead/parts/search API and outputs them as a table.
An implementation via the new API would certainly be better.
✅ search while typing
✅ free search (the order of the queries does not matter)
✅ simple user interface
✅ output of image, name, description, category, footprint and ID
✅ Multilingual (German and English)
Note
New in version 1.2
- added Check for updates when the page is loaded (to disable it, comment out the line
window.onload = checkForUpdates;at the end of the file)
Note
New in version 1.1
- added icons and metadata for app shortcuts from Part-DB

For the beginning I assume basic knowledge of HTML. I may expand the instructions in the future.
The current version was tested with Part-DB version: 1.10.6, with MySQL database, reverse proxy and Docker.

When connecting via HTTPS and a reverse proxy, the complete Part-DB URL must be specified.- Why is there no pull request in the Part DB server? I don't know how to create pages with Symfony. 😁
- maximum 100 results, API limit
- searching with
/and other special characters may not work - During testing, I experienced once that the page was very slow. Deleting all cookies and website data solved the problem for me.
If you are experiencing bugs, please provide a screenshot of the Web console with 'XHR' and 'Requests'.
