I don't know if this feature exists and I just didn't find it yet. But I think it's really annoying that there is no way to figure out the page number of a hard cover book.
Very often I see some forum there's or discussions on Reddit where they cite a source book and the page number. I have all new source books digital in dndbeyond, but can't search for the page which is frustrating because the search engine isn't very helpful most of the time.
Even just having the range of pages listed next to the section headings would narrow it down. So if the DMG chapter 1 heading read “A World of your own - p.1-35” (not sure the exact page numbers of chapter 1 as I don’t have a physical copy, which kind of illustrates the point) would at least help get you to the correct chapter

I think this is the bigger problem. If you want to look something up you shouldn't have to try google and hope for the best. You should be able to find it in the primary source yourself.

I think the policy is to specifically avoid referencing page numbers when possible....there’s like 13 different printings of the PHB ( or around there anyway) as each printing is updated with errata. So what was on page 97 of the second printing might have been pushed to page 98 by the 10th printing.
there’s also that same guidance in some of the AL module writing guides when referencing rules
I didn't mean Google search engine. I was taking about the dndbeyond search function.
I was referring to both. With the DDB search function often being no help, google is what you try next. However, a) those results don't always let you know where you can find the info in the books for yourself and b) it's silly to own content here but not being able to conveniently search it.

Hello everybody,
I don't know if this feature exists and I just didn't find it yet. But I think it's really annoying that there is no way to figure out the page number of a hard cover book.
Very often I see some forum there's or discussions on Reddit where they cite a source book and the page number. I have all new source books digital in dndbeyond, but can't search for the page which is frustrating because the search engine isn't very helpful most of the time.
Would be amazing if this could be added!
Best regards
Gerrit

It's been asked for since this site went live. At this point it is fair to say you should assume it's never going to happen.
WOTC lies. We know that WOTC lies. WOTC knows that we know that WOTC lies. We know that WOTC knows that we know that WOTC lies. And still they lie.
Because of the above (a paraphrase from Orwell) I no longer post to the forums -- PM me if you need help or anything.

Sigh.
Trying to prepare for a Curse of Strahd campaign, and the community supplements reference page numbers.
I've already purchased my last bit of D&D Beyond content if this feature isn't added in. Absolutely inexcusable.
