How to add parts without valid barcodes?

[TWM617]

I have a lot of old Digikey parts for which the barcodes are not recognized by Digikey but the parts are still shown as valid in their system when I search for the part number on the Digikey site. In single part add, I tried to type the part number but when I enter the first letter it immediately searches and returns something. The search doesn't wait until I am finished typing. I can add the part in Bulk Add but then the part information and cost (and the rest) are not included. It seems to me that the search should wait until I hit enter to start searching. I realize that this may interfere with barcode scanning but I have literally hundreds of such different parts I want to add to inventory.

The page says "This page supports barcode scanning" when in fact it seems to require barcode scanning.

This is classic developer syndrome. I'm a hella fast typer and never noticed that a change made a month ago for barcodes replaces the part number search with the actual part number. This is not ideal as if you are still typing the autocomplete will replace your input.

I have an idea to solve this more ideally, to simply suggest the part below the search input rather than replacing it. Shouldn't be a difficult fix
