When you search for something in the catalog or even in studio for one of your models, you would typically put the name, right? You would think that it would check the name, right? Wrong… (as far as I know) It doesn’t. My proof is I typed the EXACT name of the model I wanted, and not even a single result. It checks the description of the item I guess. Now that is pretty stupid, can we PLEASE change that? Keep both if you have to, just have it so it checks the name of the model.
I for one don’t give my personal models descriptions. Therefore this pisses me off like hell.
Major support.
If this is true, expect a patch ASAP on this one. Going to try. Because I agree this would be hella annoying.

I just searched up a model in the Library and it returned it when I searched for the name. I’m unable to reproduce the situation you’re describing. Did the model’s name contain special characters like quotes or dashes?
Also, are you sure you didn’t accidentally search for a model in the Catalog?
Also, whenever you try to publish a model with an apostrophe in its name, it changes to something else.
“Echo’s Random Stuff?” becomes
"Echo&# 39;s Random Stuff? "
It’s not that names don’t support apostrophe, because I can go into the configuration, replace that with an apostrophe, and everything works as normal. Also, if you try to update the model from the site with the &# 39; in its name, it gives you an error and won’t let you update.
Edit: cri – that random code appears as an apostrophe on view mode for rbxdev. Link to model btw:
http://www.roblox.com/Echo-39-s-Random-Stuff-item?id=175106475 I put a space in between the # and 3 so it doesn’t appear as an apostrophe.

I don’t remember if I mentioned this, but it’s in Studio.

Why does it look like it only checks public models, as your description actually contains “ragdoll”
Heck if I knew… It’s in the description AND in the title. I still don’t get it back? o.e

Does this happen for both the Library and the Toolbox, or only the Toolbox? And does it only happen when you are searching under the “My Models” category?
Seems like this is fixed. Let me know otherwise. I just tried the toolbox for both public and my models and the search worked.
