Eagle CAD library search function

Former Member

I have the free eagle lite edition and I was looking for a Uln2803 transistor array So I typed in the search bar"Uln2803 Eagle said"no results matching your description But ofcourse that was my own vault because I should have typed Uln2803A I only type like 90 of the name of the item I am looking for correctly and eagle cant find it I can hardly ever find anything because I dont know the last lettre or something I cannot believe how beyond worthless that search function actually is It is already a miracle that I can find something simple like a resistor

 

when I work with eagle I spend most of my time downloading certain components or making my own components.

 

Is this search function so bad because I use the free version or is it just bad in every version.

  • I'm not an Eagle user, but I've used a few different PCB CAD packages and search is always atrocious. What they really need is a relational database with keywords, footprint names, etc. so you could search for "transistor array" or "uln2803" and even specify the package (e.g. "soic", "dip")
