The new item search menu tier really sucks. It’s like something a first year comp sci student would come up with and get a D. The company icons are unnecessary. Nobody wants or needs to look at their artwork. Just the name. Then there is the “nn series nn series nn series” endless unformatted piles of indiscernible text that only gives me a headache. Seriously, did you put any effort into this at all? Why not just an alphabetical list, or a hierarchy. KISS. Also, the space on the left in which a model name may be typed does not even work. It won’t accept any text. That’s just Sadistic. I love your service but this new mucky bog of trying to get to a particular item is regret personified. “This looks like one of our service pods, but it is a very bad design.” --John Parker, Buckaroo Banzai
Hello there 
,
I am the first year comp sci student that turned in this project on got a D 
. I am just now seeing this post after making a bunch of updates to the forum. So, I thought I would make a response and see if you had a different opinion in the 8 months since you have posted this.
First off: we are ALWAYS making updates to the site. Having an inventory of over 15000 parts, and trying to keep some simblance of organization on how to aid customers & users of syntaur.com on how to find the correct part as easily as possible has been a huge challenge. As we have made improvements on the site, I have opted to keep legacy options available on the site as well. For instance, in your post you were referring to the parts page that shows the companys name and logo as well as the “series” headers. These are old options that were implimented awhile ago that we have decided to keep just in case that was a users preferred method of traversing the site.
The search bar on the top in the navbar; I just made massive improvements to this in the past month or two. Prior to this update it was literally useless, unless you were using the syntaur part number search bar. I’m hoping that when a new users visits syntaur.com they will be able to find the part they are looking for and not be immediatly turned off because they wont be able to find the product they need.
As for the side bar, we started making the switch from one version of an API we were using to a new version around the time you posted this and some pages lost the functionality of the side bar 
. We have since fixed this 
.
If you have any other opinions or genuine feedback. LMK here and i’ll do my best to take it to heart.
