I noticed this recently, but the "Appearance In Inv" search (https://www.bricklink.com/catalogIn.asp?utm_content=subnav)
no longer properly reads the part quantity anymore when searching in sets.

For example, search for part 3832 in Green - no matter what qty you put, it always
brings up the same amount of sets this part is found in. I think it's defaulting
to qty 1?

I believe this was working properly in the past - if you search for qty 3, it
should only show you the sets that have 3832 in Green with 3 or more of these
parts.

Is it possible to get this fixed? Thanks!

There is no quantity field on the page you refer to. The -[1] is where you input
the secondary number for sets.

Oh wow, I never realized that - I guess I misremembered something! Thanks for
the clarification.

Just to double check, is there currently no way to search for what I wanted -
where you specify the exact part number and qty - and the search finds all sets
that have a minimum qty of that part?

If it is about a single part, yes you can:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?itemType=P&itemNo=3001&in=A&v=0&oV=Y&colorID=5&srt=3&srtAsc=D

Or from the item detail page, you choose 'appears in' or through the
color tab you select the color you want; then at the top of the page you can
select 'list', sort by 'Qty' and 'down'.

Why does the field go up to 15 or more, then? Parts don't need a set number
anyway, so that makes no sense at all!

Cheers ...

Because there's up to 25 subsets in a calendar.


  Parts don't need a set number
anyway, so that makes no sense at all!

You can also search for other items, like sets in “supersets” for instance.

The field is always there because that's an old page, with simple HTML coding,
and it's the new-fangled “reactive or whatever” one we have these days with
fields that only appear when you need them.

Hopefully it will get updated to modern standards one of these days.
