Ability to search any datastore's contents

Feature Requests Engine Features
#1

As a Roblox developer, it is currently not possible to search through a datastore, If this issue is addressed, it would improve my development experience because I would not have to rely on an external server to save data just to be able to search through it for whatever I want, whether that be a specific value inside of a key (if it were a table) or a number range (if it was an ordered datastore for example)

Currently we need to resort to methods which are either not very reliable or depend on an external service. (which we might not be able to afford)

If this feature was added, it could be used for many things including but not limited to:

  • Searching for members of a guild with certain requirements (like rank or join time)
  • Searching through a datastore of worlds/servers for a server with a specific name or player count
  • Searching through a player datastore for something specific such as corrupted data

2 years later and no update on the updated functionality :confused: …
Loads of players want the ability to search a global leaderboard using ordered datastores and be able to provide the user with their current position within the leaderboard.

Is there still no way of doing that?
