There are 8 entries in the search results before the results begin drawing from forum posts. If I read the search results very carefully, I can see that I need to click on "Light Domain", and it will take me to the top of the "Cleric" class, where I'll then need to scroll or search that page for the words "Radiance of the Dawn", before I find the cleric feature Channel Divinity: Radiance of the Dawn.
Wouldn't it be possible to increase the priority of boldfaced phrases or text which is clearly the title of a trait or feature, so that the search system knows how to find it and show it to me as a first-class result?
If I type in a clearly matching phrase like "Radiance of the Dawn", I'd hope that a link to the Channel Divinity: Radiance of the Dawn feature would be the first result. Thanks!
Because the search functions on DDB are hot garbage. If you already know what you want and where to find it then it is easier to go straight to it. If you don’t, it’s legit easier to Google it so you can find out what it is and where to find it and then come to DDB and go straight to it.
This applies to other class features as well.
I know that the cleric has a class feature called "Radiance of the Dawn", so I try searching for it the way I'd search for a spell:

Update: Search still works the same way. I got here with the following Google query:
site: www.dndbeyond.com "radiance of the dawn"
This functionality would be useful.
