RS Components Search

Whenever I try to do a search on RS Components Australian web site,



formatting link



after just having called it up, I find that it ignores my first attempt, and shows unrelated promotional stuff instead. I have to do the search a second time.



Anyone else noticed this?

Nope, worked first time for me. Chrome on Win10 pro fast insider preview.

Actually, on further examination, the problem seems to be partly one of impatience on my part. The page is willing to accept a search before it's completed loading, and the part loaded subsequently overwrites the search parameter. The form could be better designed, but at least now I know.

They probably hired a bunch of ex Yahoo programmers....................

Or something. I've had a number of search attempts fail even when I've waited patiently first.

It seems to be like trying to test the proposition that toast always lands butter side down - the nature of the beast means that it only happens when used for real - any experiment is doomed to failure.
