Yeah.  You often have to be overly broad aout your searches, too.
Sometimes you will miss parts that are there by specifying, for example,
"red" as an LED color, when the one you really wamnt is described as
"clear red" or "diffused red" or some such.  It's usually only a problem
when narrowing the search usingtheir drop-down selection boxes.
