I bought the digital 2024 rules books, however:
1) The DnD Beyond search only returns 2014 rules entries (which I do not own)
2) The Online library DOES NOT MATCH THE PRINTED BOOKS.
I just spent half an hour trying to find the RAW for Downtime activities, only to find out that DnD Beyond shadow-edited them out of the DMG, replacing them with the Bastion rules.
Additionally, there is no 2025 SRD.
Please fix the search to have the option to return rules from 2014, 2024, or both.
Return the Downtime activity rules to the online books and match up the chapters to the printed copies.
The site-level search can search both 5e and 5.5e content just fine.
Nothing has been "shadow-edited", whatever that means. The 5.5e Dungeon Master's Guide does not have and has never had a section on downtime activities (in either the print or digital version). The 5e DMG did have some stuff on that, and it's still exactly where it always was.

Yes there is, the SRD 5.2.1 is right here and it's also linked at the bottom of literally every D&D Beyond page:
Already returns both
The books already match, the printed DMG never had downtime activities, you seem to be misremembering
