My player was trying to understand how to break something (he actually used the 3rd edition term "Sunder"). But looking at this index page it isn't apparent at all where to look. Because they weren't able to articulate and use the correct term (he kept saying 'things' as compared to 'Objects' he couldn't search for it. But looking at the very top page seen above, it wasn't clear either.
That's because the heading for "Objects" can only be seen, if you happen to select and drill down onto the next page down in the right chapter, and look at the TOC in the left hand pane:
This is very opaque and hard to navigate. The panes at the top level give no indication that there are other headings. It would be nice have the boxes contain at least the same content as the TOC, one level down; especially if you aren't clear on what the right term is. (different style sheet, scroll bars, something).

A very specific example of this point, as pointed out by a frustrated player of mine.

Yeah source search and navigation really needs an upgrade.
