Very fair, sorry. I wasn't even aware than my brain added the ‘the’ there.
>would "updating list of available substitutes" be better?
Well, I prefer my suggestion, but then I would, wouldn't I? ;-) You go looking for things. Somebody saying that they are going looking for a list of things is how you know they are secretly a robot.
Still, I think both are better than ‘updating [implied words that do make sense but you need to know them] substitutes’.
