General semiconductor parts (and associated data sheets) have plenty of search engines already, hence are purposely excluded.
ChipHit is based on the Google Co-op search engine, hence all of Google's standard tricks apply. Note that Google Co-op search does, however, return different results that Google. For example, doing a site: search on ChipHit returns 5 hits from most sites, which site: on Google returns hundreds. Google is aware of these issues via the Google custom search engine group. For day to day searches, however, Google Co-op does a better job of searching because Co-op limits the search space to the sites that ChipHit specifies.
ChipHit currently features an AJAX search as its default search engine, which shows a general search plus refined data. This is a good engine for quick browsing. ChipHit also features a traditional HTML based search results. The traditional search results are the basis for the browser bar plugin.
