I would like to request the ability for Product Browser search field to allow for a query across ALL mfg product libraries, not just the ones currently installed. You could go one step further and add an option to download that mfg’s library and continue (instead of going to Tools->Personalization->Manufacturer Libraries, find the Mfg, then add it). Seems like it would be an easy way to sell more libraries!
Even adding this feature to the online search tool would be an improvement, as you currently need to know the mfg before you can search for a model.

Thanks Cory,

One question: do you often find yourself in possession of a Model Number without knowing the Manufacturer?

No - most of the time I'll either ascertain the mfg from the model number, or the mfg is given with the model.

Hi Cory,

Thanks, that's helpful.  Given that you know the manufacturer, you can search for the model number on the website, at https://www.stardraw.com/sd7/features/manufacturers, to see if the product exists for the manufacturer and then decide whether you need to add that manufacturer to your selected libraries or, if the product doesn't yet exist, request that it be added to the library.

Kind regards,
