<p>tinkering with yaqwsx's JLC parametric search tooling today. realised that I can easily improve results by just working on some description data extraction stuff - it's just a case of spotting where data is commonly missing from parametrics but present in the item description, and writing a regex to do the extraction. so far I've done D/L dimensions and ripple current on aluminium caps, and tempco on resistors. simple work but vastly improves the data quality.</p>
