The Equipment section of Game Rules is unacceptably bad. If you want to look at one single piece of equipment it's okay, but if you're looking at something it's probably because you got it as loot which means you can just click it in your inventory - no need to search for individual items.
It's MUCH easier if you want to look at the options if you open the PHB and look at the tables. Nothing is sorted in the Equipment section. If I'm trying to look at weapons, the first melee weapon is item #29 (battleaxe). The second one melee weapon is #94! (club). It's nigh impossible to get coherent information because by the time you find the next thing you already forgot the last one.
I can think of no scenario where you want all of the items just dumped into one mega list. They should be categorized at the very least. The book already does this for us which is why it's a lot easier to use. You want to see the armor options? Boom. Enjoy trying to look at the options in Game Rules > Equipment.
Now, exactly these need to be clickable headers on this page by default.
Just like monsters or spells have subcategories there. It would make things so much easier. I myself open the PHB on DDB as that is faster than using this menu.

You can actually search the equipment listings by keywords relevant to what you want to see. For example, searching:

Just give us good filter options like for spells.
