This is awesome! I have a small game with 5 likes and since someone disliked it, now it wont show on the search, even if you write the exact same title

Roblox after breaking the algorithm:
Fix our impressions count in discovery, search, friends and ads❌
Create a workaround that no one will use to stop ppl from complaining

i too have issues with star wars.
was fine a few months ago, i was one of the top results for names very similar to my game name,
but now, just because of the word stars, the results are flooded with star wars and my game does not appear unless i replace stars with bagpipes because yes

This is a step in the right direction for discovery, but why only experiences? Places like the catalog and library desperately need a feature like this.
And since we’re on the topic of searching, are there any plans to implement boolean operators (ie. AND, OR, and NOT, and + or -) into the search engine as well?

Thank you for working on the search. This is definitely an improvement that will help discovery. I think the biggest issue with search is searches that include two or more words. The quotes do help if the keywords are next to each other in the game’s title, but what about games that have words in between the keywords, even ancillary words like a or the?
I don’t know what Roblox search logs look like. It could be most kids just search on one word, but if they are searching for two words, there are probably lots of games that are still missing from the results – with or without quotes. At two words is where search really breaks down. It appears only one word is relevant to the search.
I hope you keep working on the search.

I feel my soul leave my body every time Roblox adds an obscure feature to the discovery page and announces it to a location that most Roblox players don’t frequent instead of doing deeper R&D to how discovery feels like walking on a bunch of spilled LEGOs. The only reason I can hold on right now is because improved discovery, including developer-curated sorting, is on the roadmap.
These kinds of things need a more visible location than the Developer Forum and need to be applied on a wider scale so they more directly benefit the developer community and deincentivise abusing text displays to appear on searches not relevant to the user. In fact, honestly, it shouldn’t even be double quotes, it should be a clearly visible “search modifier” button.
Let alone younger audiences that likely don’t look at the forum to pick up on this but use the search bar to try and find experiences, I’m an adult and I don’t find this intuitive. I don’t speak for any mature person by saying this but that’s my two cents - a button is infinitely more visible and useable here.

Amazing addition and I can’t wait for more quality of life changes.

I don’t think many people who actually play roblox games would find this useful or know it exists. The way this was implemented seems like an after thought and wont find use outside of developers.

It has made it easier to find games that are stealing my art/description/name in order to teleport funnel people into scam places. This would be a positive (it’s a negative currently) if there was a better reporting system or devrelations was helpful in dealing with these.

I would love to have search-by-genre back again.
This feature was removed long ago for super vague reasons but I actually found this feature to be extremely useful.
Genre filtering made it super easy to find games such as shooters, horror games, exploration games and to filter through all the generic cash grab games that sometimes flood the front page.
It’s how I found some of my favorite games back in the day and I wish to have it back.

Hi @Cartoon_Corpze and @kinery, in that case I have some good news for you because it is coming back somewhere mid 2023 according to the Creator Roadmap.

Great Roblox update, this really is needed! Even if a game isn’t so popular in visits, players should still be able to find it when you search for it and for the search results to be more accurate for the game you are searching for.
Not only does this mean, that it isn’t just the biggest games that are the most easy to search for on the platform and not just necessarily the ones that get played the most by players, but also gives players the option to more easily search for new types of games that are less popular on the front page, that other players could/might enjoy playing the most out of!

It’s nice that this is finally being added but adding a button to enable exact match search instead of having to use double quotes would be much easier and way more user friendly.
This kinda feels like a sloppy way to implement it and most users will have no idea this feature exists.

I would hope this feature could be added into Creator Marketplace as well, it has been so broken and you cannot find what you want even you type the exact title.
And sometimes it just lemmatize the keyword incorrectly and it just give a punch of unrelated results. Like searching “Anime” or “Animal” just give you a punch of animation result and it is very confusing to use.

Then what would be the real “solution” to the search issues?

One thing we really need is sort options for search

Having search that accurately shows games with the highest metrics (playtime, engagement, monetization) coupled with player count first, and worse games last.
Don’t show games with worse metrics before games with better metrics, that doesn’t make sense.
