Clicked on your link, and I agree with on-ramp, the armrest/cupholder is there:

Just a guess, but most search engines ignore any punctuation and treat it as white space. Also most of them ignore words that are shorter then a certain number of characters. I suspect that "a-arm 1983" was interpreted as "arm 1983"

"Arm rest ... 1978-89" is covered by it.

Tried the search and then clicked on the sub category "Suspension" at the top and it worked ok.

I'm still not seeing it. When you type in 'A-arm' it is indeed going to pick up arm rest along with the a-arm parts. You said click on "Suspension A-Arms & Parts" - that doesn't show up when I have 1974-89 clicked?

That's the way search engines work. An arm is an arm whether it's a suspension arm or it's an arm rest
