RCFerret - online websearch tool


Recommended Posts

Hi Darren, is there a problem with the feed to www.rcferret.co.uk from Nexus Modelling Supplies?
I noticed they were missing from most of my search results (not all).

As a test, I searched for a servo 'QZ601', knowing Nexus have 2 in stock @ £37.99 each but didn't get Nexus in my results (all stores, no exclusions).
Only Pegasus, TJD & Slough RC returned matches in test.

Thanks for your support.

Hi Allan,

Good spot, I was using their non HTTPs site which returned nothing. It is now fixed and working.

Thanks again

Darren

What can I say...?

The Ferret has a new fur coat and it looks and works better than before.
Thanks for your time on it Darren, much appreciated.

The tesxt filter search to refine the results is a great feature.
I tried to add a second filter but would only allow me one (me being greedy!).

Is www.totemhobbies.co.uk worth adding?

Thanks for the feedback Allan.

Technically you can add a second filter. The filter accepts a regular expression so it is possible but constructing these are not for the faint hearted

For instance if you did a search for 'battery'

You could use a regular expression to identify 4000mah packs that are 2s using:

4000.*2s

regarding totem, it looks a good fit so will add.

Cheers D.

Hi Darren, I've been using the ferret tonight to bag me some more bargains and noticed that Google came up with a few other options. Next time you are adding more sources, please can I request you include these if possible.
