Probably one of the biggest flaws in the current system is that it doesn’t search up by the name, it just takes the words in your search querry, like High, or Noon, and Royale High and Robloxian High School come up.

I wish they would revert the search to 2016. I remember in 2016, it would look like this: (High Noon Hijack didn’t exist yet. I had an embarrassing game that I wish to keep hidden for now. )
Edit: When I released my game in 2018, Jail City (My game) would come up first. Now this fake mad city game comes up 3rd
What comes up first? Jailbreak.
The real Jail City is no where to be found there.
Edit 2:
High Noon Hijack just got …

There appears to be an oversight with the search and popular games. I searched two games that had a special screen (Arsenal and Adopt Me) WITH AND WITHOUT punctuation marks.
I found that the searched games without punctuation would show a bigger screen to showcase that its the official version…
But searched games that have a punctuation mark at the end don’t have a special screen to showcase its the official version. Important to note that Adopt Me’s title has a ! at the end of it.
I know its a minor problem, but its sorta confusing, especially in Adopt Me!'s case.

I also don’t get why Phantom Forces shows up when you search Arsenal. This search is wack!

There are some strange quirks when it comes to new games.
I’ve created a new game called Gorilla in the last 5 days, and as of yet it does not show up in search. The testing place for it does.
It seems that the algorithm is slow, and it’s unfortunate that for the time being players can not find the game without a link.
Aside from that, there are weird behaviors with the rankings. There is no general trend to the rankings of games when you search Simulator, and I wish there was more information on what brings games towards the top.
EDIT: My game “Gorilla” still does not show up on search.

There’s a pending update that should fix your issue. Also, a suggestion is to avoid adding extraneous spaces and special characters, as it’ll make it hard for players to remember or type.

I really love the idea and improvements to Roblox’s Searches. This improves other games to pop up in the search bar and get a better player base!
Thank you so much! Is there a time-frame for when this will be fixed?
Edit: Oddly enough, my group now shows up on search, but the game does not. Was group search updated? Or was search updated in general, and the game is still broken?
After this update you can no longer find my game, BigWorld. Before this update my game was at the top when you searched for it, now there are only pet games coming up.

If possible, can you please also look into my game, which has the same issue?

I released it 10 days ago, yet when searching its name, horse games or games with no players show up instead. Another issue which may be mildly related is that the game does not show up in the games page no matter how many players it has.
How come you guys can’t add this to the Popular page where everything is put in order from most to least players? It used to be like that I don’t know what happened. I’ll be scrolling through and I’ll find a game with 300 players in a section full of games with thousands of players playing.

We’ve tried searching for the words tropical, resort & tycoon, as well as the entire full name of the game, but it simply does not appear. It would be great if someone could take a look! Thanks! 
EDIT: The game pops up in search now!

@koaffle How is a game classified as the original one? Is there an application to fill out and you review the game or do I have to reach a certain amount of place visits?
Hey,
Request for you to take a look at my game please? Link
We’ve had 1,100 concurrent at one point, but it’s not showing up at all despite scrolling through 20+ pages of search results.
Thanks,

Hi @ zooweemama911.
If you could look at our game, that would also be great!
We created a sequel to Cooking Simulator called “Cooking Simulator 2”, and somehow our game does not show up in search. However, some really obvious knockoffs of the original one are showing up!
Here is our game: Cooking Simulator 2
We even paid to sponsor it, thinking that might help us get into search results, but still nothing.
Any help would be appreciated!
