Best indepen. parametic IC search?

Try this:

Can I have a few pointers to the best non-subscription parametric search engines for IC's that include all or most of the major manufacturers?

IOW ones that are not commercial and hence limited to stock, such as Digikey, or are on manufacturer's sites are for their products only.

Thanks for any advice

You are asking for a product that's in no one's interest to produce. Useful parametric search engines require lots of expensive data entry, and popular ones require lots of expensive bandwidth. If you're not recovering the money through pricey subscriptions, and you're not selling the products that you're turning up, then why on earth would you pour your money down that particular hole? You couldn't POSSIBLY swing enough advertising revenue to be profitable on that alone.

I try not to criticize the dead. Just to prove your point ;)

ive not seen an independant one but i like the national semi one, its usualy the first place i look, and they have quite a wide range.

Well, in a crude way, it can be. Type in "wide band amp" and do a Description Search and you will find a few parameters in the list. I use it that way sometimes and with some success. Just trying to be helpful and as often happens here, "No good dead goes uncriticized."

Thanks for the much needed correction.
