I wish there was a way to limit searches to say rule books or core etc. Every time I search for something I know is in the PHB I have to scroll through 200 forum posts. In fact honestly it is way faster to just do a google search than to search for something on Beyond. Which seems a little ironic since this is supposed to be the home for all things D&D!
I really do appreciate you taking the time to reply! I still think that's totally ridiculous, especially when you consider Wizards wants everyone to play on the Beyond site with their tools so we can buy more books to add to our "Library". What am I going to do at the table? I have everything open on my laptop and say, "wait a sec let me grab my phone so I can look something up even though we are all on beyond! Pfft again ridiculous! I really hope someone from Wizards reads this!
This should be an option. The ability to filter the search using the round icons is useful but doesn't go nearly far enough. I want to be able to search within specific books in the Compendium for example.
While you are at this please add an option to search "Only Legacy" or "Excluding Legacy". At the moment I have legacy and non-legacy versions of nearly every rule and I only need to see legacy ones. In the future I will probably only want to see the current rules. This wasn't a problem up until the 2024 release since there wasn't that much stuff flagged as legacy but now...
Hopefully the data has an indicator that a certain "current" thing is related to a certain "legacy" thing since when I search for 2014 content only I want to see everything that is flagged as legacy (leaving aside that in 10 years we might have two or more legacy versions of each rule) but I also want to see all the items that haven't changed, which presumably don't have a legacy flag on them.

Under the search results are a number of round icons that allow you to limit the search results to those specific areas.
You can toggle them on and off.
Search is in a lot of ways useless on the website. I've been informed it's much better on the app, if that's an option for you.
