Inappropriate Search Recommendations in Roblox Catalog

Roblox search recommendations on the catalog page include highly inappropriate items, such as “mommy milks t-shirt,” when attempting to search for the popular game Murder Mystery 2 (abbreviated as “mm2”). This search term and similar ones clearly imply adult content and are entirely inappropriate for the platform’s audience, primarily children and teenagers.

Reproduction Steps:

  1. Open a web browser and navigate to Catalog.
  2. Click on the search input bar at the top of the catalog page.
  3. Type “mm2” into the search input.
  4. Observe the dropdown search recommendations.

Search recommendations currently display inappropriate and adult-themed terms, including “mommy milks t-shirt.” They should exclusively show age-appropriate items and relevant results directly related to the query “mm2,” specifically associated with Murder Mystery 2. This issue exposes young players to inappropriate content, violating community guidelines and Roblox’s stated commitments to child safety.

Recommended actions include immediately removing inappropriate items from search recommendations and improving search filtering and moderation to prevent similar items from appearing in future searches. The issue has been observed across all major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) on the web catalog at Catalog and is considered high priority due to potential child safety risks. A screenshot showing the inappropriate recommendations is attached.

That is really unacceptable what the avatar shop search recommendations has become. It needs to be fixed.
