The search page is comprised out of three types of fields:

• text fields
• dynamic select fields
  • up to 100 items will be rendered in the list at once
  • if more than 100 items exist in the list they will remain hidden until you start typing, at which point the list is instantly filtered and updated with the remaining entries
• widgets with dynamic select fields
  • you can add and remove select fields using the + Add a new item and
    Del
    buttons, respectively.
  • the select fields work in the same way as described above

In the motherboard search page, you will have a few filters which you can apply:

• Manufacturer
  • if selected, it will match all the motherboards with that manufacturer, or all motherboards which have an alias with that manufacturer
• Name
  • if filled, it matches the name of the motherboard
  • DOES NOT match the manufacturer!
• CPU socket
  • if selected, matches all the motherboards which contain that socket
• 2nd CPU socket
  • works the same as [CPU socket]
  • if the value is different vs the other select, it will only match boards that contain both sockets, like this PAT45PV, or this DVAX2+
  • if the value is identical with the other socket, it will match motherboards with SMP support, like this P2B-DS, or this K9ND Speedster2
• CPU family
  • if selected, matches all motherboards which contain that family
• 2nd CPU family
  • works the same
  • if the value is different vs the other select, it will only match motherboards which contain both CPU families
  • if the value is identical with the other select, it will match boards with that family (same behavior as the main select)
• Chipset
  • if selected, matches all boards which match the chipset criteria
  • multiple behavior options are listed:
    • any [manufacturer] chipset: matches all the boards where the chipset manufacturer = [manufacturer]
    • [manufacturer] unidentified: matches all the boards with this chipset
    • [manufacturer][name][parts]: matches all the boards with this chipset
    • Not identified: matches all the boards which DO NOT have a chipset listed
• Form factor
  • if selected matches all the boards with that form factor

Note on widgets: a maximum of 6 widgets can be added, due to query complexity constraints, each widget acts like a logical AND for your search filters.

• Expansion slots
  • if added, it will match all the boards which contain that slot in the given quantity filter
  • count can make use of operators like <, >, <= and >= (less than, greater than, less or equal, greater or equal respectively)
• I/O ports
  • if added, it will match all the boards which contain that I/O port in the given quantity filter
  • count works the same way as with expansion slots
• Expansion chips
  • if added, it will match all the boards which contain that chip
