I had the same problem. One thing to check, this was happening to me on the mobile app (Android). If I try the same thing on desktop using Firefox it worked OK and I was able to add a Longsword.
I think it's a bug but might only be mobile app versions ?

While trying to manage my characters inventory, no common items are appearing, such as, a common longsword.
Character is proficient and I have tried with the button toggled on and off. This goes for every category except "Other Gear".
In conclusion, I am unable to add any of these items to my character's inventory.

I can confirm, I think the mobile app (Android) is not properly searching the item database.
Have the latest mobile app as of today (26 Oct).
Many common items: Longsword, Holy Symbol don't appear in search results, but if I try on Desktop (Chrome) works fine.
Using Android, D&D Beyond app, fully updated.
Can find everything just fine.

This is a bug an has affected multiple of my party members at differing times. Note that dndbeyond doesn't care and just wants your money.
