While I applaud the choice to allow players to restrict their character options to 2014 Content Only, I'd suggest that previous decisions are going to make some extra work needed.
One of the decisions communicated was "When an item didn't change between the systems, we simply upgraded it. That's why you see 2024 Weapon Mastery against 2014 used items"
With the new option, it appears that decision has come back to bite people.
Firstly, the lions share of equipment isn't visible. Longswords, short swords, daggers etc can't be added. None of the nonmagical armor can be added. This has the additional effect that when you choose "Equipment" for your starting character's gear, half the equipment doesn't show up.
Another example is languages. When choosing the Extra Language for an Elf, this is the list available:
It's great that we can limit to 2014 rules now, but it would be nice if the stuff that's identical between 2024 and 2014 still showed up.
The first is a quirk of the search there; it will only return items that have a word starting with “Sword”. Try searching for a specific type of sword instead, like “Longsword”.
I‘ve let the devs know about the missing weapons, armor, and languages from the 2014 PHB, though. Thanks!

"Longsword" comes up with magical ones, but not common. Same with "Dagger", and "Short" comes up with magical shortswords and shortbows but no common ones.
Including the "Longsword, +1" etc from the 2024 DMG (presumably because it's the same item).
So yeah, it looks like it's all the equipment from the 2014 PHB that was not tagged with "Legacy".
Weapons and armor should be fixed! They're still working on languages.
I was able to see "Longsword, +1" by typing "Longsword" both before and after this fix, though. Please let me know if it's still not showing for you.
Weapons and armor look good!
Also, I might have written that confusingly. I could see `Longsword, +1` before the changes, because it was part of the DMG, not the PHB. So everything in the PHB looks like it's there through inventory. Starting equipment adds correctly and provides the dropdowns of weapon choices again.
