The search needs to have a way to tell it to work on entire phrases. If I search for "Ability Score Loss" i should not get results for Ability Score Increase or Intelligence Ability or 'On a Loss' or anything that does not have that exact string.
Something like text in quotes or in parentheses or something. As it is I have better luck searching the internet at random for rules than I do finding them on DND beyond if I only have one phrase.
You can sorta get around this by using google by starting your search with "site:dndbeyond.com". That'll ask google to search within this website. It's an improvement.

But Google will not have indexed the data of the non free content
Yes. The search is so bad as to be nearly useless, and it gets worse as the compendium grows. I would remove the search function entirely, and reintroduce it later when it can be made functional.

Yes the search is real bad, not only the missing phrases also the priority of results. There are good search engines that operate on closed databases.
