Bug Description
Application: kicad
Version: 4.0.1-stable release build
wxWidgets: Version 3.0.2 (debug,
Platform: Windows 8 (build 9200), 64-bit edition, 64 bit, Little endian, wxMSW
Boost version: 1.57.0
Many components have many numeric values which are important when we design a board.
For example all ADC's have bitrate, sps, Vcc range, etc. values.
It would be useful to add these properties as name + value + unit pairs to the description of the component.
A few value suggestions:
text: component category
text: manufactured by
url: general information page
url: datasheet pdf
number: min Vcc (Volt)
number: max Vcc (Volt)
number: sample frequency (sps)
number: bitrate (bit)
number: channel
This would make an excellent source of information about the components and a possibility to implement a great search engine which would help the designing process greatly.
To see such a search engine in place, check http://

I've thought about this before... I keep semi-standardized fields in descriptions in my own libraries, wouldn't mind if they were numerically searchable https:/ /github. com/cpavlina/ kicad-schlib/ blob/master/ DESCR.md
