It would be extremely helpful to add a tab next to the "search everything" option that would allow us to search a specific book or module instead of "everything." Right now, the search everything feature has become increasingly useless to me as I purchase more and more content on D&D Beyond because of the information "bloat" it creates by buying more content, rendering that feature more and more useless to me. For instance, if I am searching for a specific rule about skills that I know is in the Player's Handbook and I do a search right now with the "search everything" feature I get a dozen other "skills" results from all the other books that I've purchased, and they are listed BEFORE the content I am actually looking for in the Player's Handbook. Thanks!
The search function in DDB is bad, maybe some day it can get all the updates it need to meet minimum standards, but in the meantime just use Google with site:.

Gods yes. I've asked for this multiple times.

For example want to search PHB for skills? Google: site:https://www.dndbeyond.com/compendium/rules/phb skills
This is horrible, but here's a hack: the app lets you search in a single book. So I do that first, and then find it on the website.
I will also open the book to the chapter or chapters I think what I need is in, and then just do a CTRL-F and search on page.
