That site is fine if you're looking for parts that are currently in production, AND stocked by one of the major distributors (Avnet, Arrow, Future, etc.).
A lot of times, however, hackers, builders, and MAKErs alre looking for older or more obscure part information and sources.
For datasheets, it's tough to beat AllDataSheet.com
For sources, I always try FindChips.com
For example, and from a current thread in the forums, plug "MC145436" into each and you'll see what I mean.
