How to Use Limble Search

Using Limble's AI-Powered Search to Find the Best Price on Parts

Updated over a week ago

Overview

The price for a single spare part can fluctuate daily, meaning your preferred vendor may have the lowest price today, but the highest price tomorrow. At the same time, shopping for parts across various vendor websites is tedious and time consuming.

With Limble Search, you can easily compare prices, availability, and shipping times across preferred vendors with a click of a button!

This article will teach you how to use Limble Search and set up the Chrome extension to search and compare vendors across the web.

If you don’t have Limble Search and want to learn more, reach out to your Limble representative.

    When you feel satisfied with your search term, click the magnifying glass to generate results.
    ​
