Find the Right Machine Filter Faster with Our New Smart Search

We have launched our new and improved search functionality on BoarParts.com. With all original filters, high-quality alternatives, and more than 40,000 machines in our database, it is now easier than ever to find the correct filter for your machine.

Our goal was clear: create one fast, intelligent search bar capable of processing thousands of part numbers, cross-references, and machine types, without slowing down. Below you will find all major improvements and how they help you.

Real-Time Suggestions for Part Numbers

The search bar now displays suggestions as soon as you start typing a part number.

Whether you enter a full code or only a fragment, you immediately see matching filters and machines.

For example, typing “P55100” or even “5510” immediately shows all related Donaldson, OEM, Mann+Hummel, Fleetguard, and Fil options.

Benefit: you no longer need to type complete part numbers or search through long lists. The best matches appear instantly.

Smarter Search: Even Typing Errors Get Correct Results

Part numbers often include dashes, spaces, special letters, or formats that are easily mistyped. Previously, a small mistake meant no results.

Our new search engine is error-tolerant.

If you miss a dash, swap a digit, add a space, or mistype a letter, the search bar still identifies the most likely correct match and shows you the right filter or machine.

Benefit: fewer failed searches and less frustration—especially with complex OEM part numbers.

Instantly See All Cross-References and Alternatives

Filters are produced not only by OEM suppliers, but also by top manufacturers such as Donaldson, Mann+Hummel, Fleetguard, and Fil Filter. These brands often produce the same filter specifications at different price points due to production volume differences.

In the search results, you now immediately see:

• the original filter,

• all compatible alternatives, and

• all cross-references for your machine model

Benefit: This allows you to compare quality filters quickly and choose the one that suits your budget.

Improved Machine Lookup with Brand and Type Suggestions

Entering the brand and type of your machine, such as “Caterpillar 308C”, “John Deere 6150R”, or “Hitachi ZX210”, now automatically triggers suggestions in the search bar.

We also show all relevant machine variants available in our database.

Even if you do not type the brand name, the system can recognize your machine based on the model code alone.

Benefit: quickly find all filters for your machine without navigating through menus.

Compare High-Quality Filters Easily by Price

If you want a premium filter for your machine, you typically choose a reputable brand. However, even among these leading manufacturers, price differences can be significant for directly interchangeable filters.

This price variation is not caused by quality differences, but by production volumes and supply chain efficiencies.

Our new search functionality shows all prices side-by-side, making it easy to choose the best option without compromising on quality.

Benefit: transparent comparisons and better value for money.
