FIIN XREF and .MIL Secrets

[Watson A.Name - \"Watt Su]

Is there a crossref between the Federal Inventory Number and parts such
as semiconductors? Maybe I should say, I figure that there such a
thing, but is it available to the public, and not just gummint? I
haven't done any searches for such a xref, mainly because it's probably
buried somewhere, as in the following.

Also, I seldom if ever see a .MIL website pop up in a Google search. Is
that because there is some kind of confidential agreement between Google
and the .MIL web hierarchy that they will not spider .MIL sites and add
those to their search database? Seems so, anyway.

Do you have specific part numbers? I have a small database form
surplus parts that were still in the moisture proof packing.

Also, I seldom if ever see a .MIL website pop up in a Google search. Is

The military sites probably include the meta tag requesting the site
not be crawled by the search software.

Nothing in particular. I thought it would be helpful when I encounter
certain lots of parts on Ebay. Like this one comes in handy once in
awhile.

I've found that some Ebay sellers try to inflate the value of their
parts by comparing them to ECG/NTE parts, which obviously isn't valid
because the NTE part may be 'equal or better', which means that the
xref'd part may be substantially below the NTE specs, actually. Another
handy one is the Heathkit Xref. I also had some Radio Shack to JEDEC
numbers written down somewhere.

Also, I seldom if ever see a .MIL website pop up in a Google search.

Ah, IC. But that would exclude _all_ searches, including the ones done
by .MIL users. Maybe they check to see if the search engine is .MIL or
not?

Yes, they have a nice website.

numbers written down somewhere.

I am collecting that kind of information from my stack of Heathkit
manuals. Some have more than one OEM cross when the part was used over
a number of years and models so it doesn't hurt to know them all.

Ah, IC. But that would exclude _all_ searches, including the ones done
by .MIL users. Maybe they check to see if the search engine is .MIL or
not?

Its my understanding that the searchbots can ignore the request not
to crawl a site.
