I think the EAGLE component search algorithm is stupidly written because whenever I try to search for a specific component it won't show up, then I have to manually search each one in its own category and it's really annoying.
I am trying to find the footprint for the through-hole wire-wound resistor. I have found that resistor-power.lbr contains those footprints but I couldn't find it in my library.
Any help would be appreciated.

A good way to search in eagle is to use the * character. For example
"LM*"will bring up all parts staring with LM and"*LM*"will bring up all parts containg LM.Although eagle, like every other circuit design tool does not have everything. Designing your own parts can be an essential tool. (Albeit a pain in the a**)
