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’.



Kind regards,
