This is still an ongoing issue and should not be closed without serious communication on to what is happening here.

Our New Game Catalog Creations was appearing for the search term ‘Catalog Creations’ then after a description update it suddenly disappeared, making it very hard to promote the game.
Roblox needs to inform games that are flagged for keyword filters and shadow banning so we can adapt and conform to the rules. Whatever they are.

Developers are what pay the bills for Roblox and should be given more knowledge on search indexing. I just got promoted a ‘Most Engaging Game’ with just 40% likes and less than 1k players. Something is broken with search and the sorts.

We’ve got a game with 2,3M+ visits ( Poop Simulator) that keeps yo-yoing up and down the search results despite having a fairly unique name. Some weeks we will be outside the top 10 search results, other within the top 10. The results are inconsistent and unpredictable. Please fix it someone. We have dropped from an average of 30k daily visits down to ~10k. Not happy.

@Focia19 This issue is happening randomly, for example, my game with 1.5k active players wasn’t showing on the search engine yesterday, but now it does

Wow. Somebody seems to have listened to the developers. I would like to say thank you very much to that person. Our games are now discoverable again. Now I can start advertising.

Hello everyone!

We fixed some of the experiences mentioned here!
Let me know if the issue comes back or someone is still affected by it!

Added 7 more days to the topic timer. :slight_smile:

My game is back in search but it’s not the same as previous when you searched. Now its showing after some more popular tycoons but these tycoons are still without any Christmas theme, kinda strange. Anyway, its better than nothing.
Now:

Before:

Thank you. It is appreciated. It’s difficult when we spend thousands of hours developing for the platform and then suddenly see our hard work disappear from the searches.

Hey there, two of our experiences are not showing up when searching for them/not showing up as high as they should be

Ultimate Easy Obby, all the way down here despite having better metrics in every single category compared to games above

Cart Ride, nowhere to be found on search (but Blox Fruits, Evade and Bee Swarm Simulator are?)

Christmas Obby, nowhere to be found on search, but games without christmas in the title are?

Games that have nothing to do with what I searched for/those with worse metrics (avg playtime, like ratio etc) then our game should be featured below us, plain and simple.

I Can’t find my game Escapa del OXXO on the search bar today but yesterday i searched up my game on the search bar and it appears but today i cant find it (Picture 1)


I can’t even find it on the Recently played games!

That’s very annoying because you do a lot of effort to finish your experiences and this happens…

I’m having the same problem here. My game Mega Fun Long Obby has went from being 5th place when I search up “mega fun” to being in 168th place. I haven’t changed the name nor the thumbnail recently.

My game got sent to 168th place instead of 5th place when I search up “mega fun”

Mega Fun Long Obby

My game doesn’t even appear on the search page and on the recently played list…
