In the compendium and character builder it is really helpful when the content from all owned sources is automatically displayed, but there are a number of places on the website that don't follow this logic and it can make it more difficult to navigate and confusing to the players. For example, clicking the sources tab always shows everything (and with more books constantly published it is getting unmanageable). In the feats and races rule sections there is no simple way to filter by owned content. As the DM I know if something applies or not, but for my players it is more confusing. I try to convince them to look up the rules, but it would be much nicer if it only displayed the subset of options available to them through content sharing, just as it would for example when they are leveling up in the character builder.
I find this particularly annoying when I'm searching for monsters and magic items! I can't afford to own all the adventures, while I do own most of the sourcebooks. I have to manually select every source I own when searching for things to use in my campaign, and it gets very tedious very quickly.
A checkbox to filter any search by content owned would be amazing. Sometimes I just go elsewhere to look for things because using Beyond this way can be frustrating.
