So I want to find any reference to a word in Tasha's but umm it's different webpages not a PDF or a single page so ctrl-F is useless...does dndbeyond have a way to do this?
Improved searchable texts (i.e. single book searches, as well as producing indexes reflective of the inprint editions mapped to the digital) is a need.

Wait you mean searching isn't possible? Ugh I wanna find out if any of the new things in Tasha's let you fly or go invisible whether it's a subclass or an item or a tattoo or whatever but going to 50 different pages and retyping the search over and over just isn't a viable solution.
You can unleash the aberrant truth hidden within yourself. As a bonus action, you can spend 1 or more sorcery points to magically transform your body for 10 minutes. For each sorcery point you spend, you can gain one of the following benefits of your choice, the effects of which last until the transformation ends:
You can see any invisible creature within 60 feet of you, provided it isn’t behind total cover. Your eyes also turn black or become writhing sensory tendrils.
You gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed, and you can hover. As you fly, your skin glistens with mucus or shines with an otherworldly light.
You gain a swimming speed equal to twice your walking speed, and you can breathe underwater. Moreover, gills grow from your neck or fan out from behind your ears, your fingers become webbed, or you grow writhing cilia that extend through your clothing.
Your body, along with any equipment you are wearing or carrying, becomes slimy and pliable. You can move through any space as narrow as 1 inch without squeezing, and you can spend 5 feet of movement to escape from nonmagical restraints or being grappled.
While I agree the search function needs to be more defined, it took me less than a minute to find what you were looking for by searching 'fly tasha' and 'invisible tasha' That's the only thing I saw that allowed flying. Nothing that gives you invisibility.

Much as I'd appreciate those options, I feel I should point out that the print version of Tasha's doesn't have an index and that if it did, it'd probably not give peteed what he needs - not every ability or mechanic necessarily uses the same words, unless the editors take a great deal more care than I expect and they make the whole book a lot more verbose than it is now. Does Fly include Levitation? Does Invisibility include being hidden by an illusion? Even if those maybe don't apply for peteed's purposes, for a thorough search they would probably be relevant and it'd be near impossible to cover all of that in an index.

Felgrimm is showing us how ineffective the search is, right? There's a lot more that matches "flying" + "tasha": https://www.dndbeyond.com/search?q=flying tasha
And I found Twilight Domain cleric, Steps of Night at 6th level gives flying. Doesn't show up in those queries.
You just used the search, concluded there's nothing else to give you flying, when there certainly is. Ergo, bad search.
