Improving Creator Marketplace Search with Spell Correction & Facet Suggestions

The same things going on for me, this is a terrible feature for me, and every single time I search for something it comes up with the stupidest unrelated things possible.

Agreed with the 2 most recent replies of this announcement from this reply. I also noticed a lot of search results that I used to see, are now just gone, including some models I looked up for me to design NPCs (Iā€™m not sure if they got taken off-sale or shadowbanned)! (Further explanation here)

Considering this, Roblox staff, can we please have another option for us to switch back to the old search system prior to this change/disable spell correction or a highly revamped search settings with more settings to choose, and allow shadowbanned models to pop up when the ā€œinclude unverified creatorsā€ option is turned off?

Iā€™d highly suggest the implementation of ā€œTagsā€ in the future, to better separate created content across the board in not only the marketplace, but also the game section.

Is the ā€œGuyā€ coming up for you as a search result or one of the facets?

The facets returned for ā€œGUIā€ should be ā€œinterface, button, menu, HUD, inventory, dialogue box, health bar, progress bar, mini-map, control panelā€

Thanks for the suggestion, this is something we are thinking about. Can you elaborate on the types of ā€œTagsā€ you would want? What would a few examples be?

Thank you for your comment. Just to clarify, are the results unrelated to your search or the facet and spell check query suggestions?

Thank you for your feedback. Quick clarification: If creators do not interact with spell checker or faceted search suggestions, there will be no change to the results due to these features.

When I go to https://create.roblox.com/store/images and type GUI in the search box, what comes up are things such as (my top few results)

Gravity coil guy (blue) (thenoobic_658)
OMG GUYS NEWS!!!
Purple Guy's face
[ * `` Oh, who /is/ this "ink" guy?`` ]
Anime Guy
Cool guys doesnt look back
purple guy
sleeping black guy
Corrupted Guy with cat
That Spear head Guy drawing
Really Guys Face
hi guys
Fall Guys
a middle aged guy

and so on. I donā€™t know what you mean by facets. I donā€™t get any kind of list of related phrases, just pages and pages of results with ā€œguyā€ in them.

Itā€™s both to be specificā€¦nothing shows up at all.

Of course!

So some tag examples that come to mind:

Holy, Unholy, Cute, Cloth, Leather, Boots, Thighhighs, Socks, Shoes, Sneakers, Necklace, Blindfold, Chains, Silver, Gold, Platinum, ETCā€¦

Basically, an option of the ā€œmainā€ characteristic (like boots being tagged boots) and some options for aesthetic tags (like leather, black, white, colored, fancy, cute, etc)

It would be great if you could provide examples of the queries you have issues with. With the limited information from your post, it seems your issue is related to search performance rather than spell checker or facets suggestions which is the topic of this post. Spell checker and facet suggestions does not affect search results if creators do not interact with them.
